PELICAN ISLAND

The Indians
Named by sailors who thought that from a distance the rocks looked like an Indian head dress. These rocks rise up out of the water about fourty feet and reach down to approximately fifty feet in depth. The rocks' sheer sides are blanketed with coral heads, sponges and sea squirt colonies. Butterfly fish and blue chromis add colour and charm. One occasionally comes across scorpion fish and shoals of squid. There is a small cavern with hundreds of glassy sweepers looking like they are dust spinning in sunbeams, and a tunnel will bring you out into a beautiful coral garden in ten feet of water - a perfect place to end the dive!

Rainbow Canyons
Is a cropping of coral ridges on the south west corner of Pelican Island, extending out to a depth of 60 feet. Large coral heads, black coral, bright blue lettuce sea slugs and varied species of reef fish characterize this classic coral reef. The coral canyons here are also home to a variety of marine life such as spotted drums sharp-nose puffers, a colony of garden eels and the curious looking donkey dong.
