They are located south of larger British Tortola Island and east of the large US Saint John Island.
They were so named because from a distance they were thought to resemble a Native American's head dress.
The waters around the Indians contain much marine life,[1] and are also the second most popular dive site in the British Virgin Islands after the wreck of the RMS Rhone. The shallower areas of the Indians are also a popular snorkelling site and the area has several mooring balls for day use.
