Sergeant Minor Dive Site
Sergeant Minor - This is
a continuation of Sergeant Major. A large sandy area separates the two dive
sights. Sergeant Minors' claim to fame is the 50 foot lava tube. It usually
has a LARGE eel slinking around somewhere inside. Not to worry though, Carl
says he (the eel) is very accommodating even when you come face to face with
him!!! If you get the chance to take a close look at a large eel be sure to
check for a cleaner shrimp which may be present on or around his face. These
cleaner shrimp are known for their bravery and their ability to clean a multitude
of teeth is a very short period of time. Both, Sergeant Major and Sergeant Minor
face the open ocean so be sure to keep your eyes open to the deeper water. Larger
game fish, dolphins and during certain times of the year humpback whales have
been seen cruising the area.
