Peeking into the nooks and crannys formed by the boulders, a diver may be rewarded with the sight of a large green moray eel or a sleeping nurse shark. Giant lobster also live among the boulders and may come out to great a diver in the middle of the day. When the current is running, more fish and creatures seem to come out. The schooling fish can surround a diver with fish so dense as to hide one dive buddy from the other. In the shallow areas, schools of butterflyfish may torment the sergeant majors' by attacking their eggs when a diver swims nearby.
Large trumpetfish hang out everywhere.
The trumpetfish are particularly fond of imitating a branch of a sea plume or sea rod. L'Anse Chemin , a wildly beautiful site on the far Northwest corner of Bequia is one of the favorite dive sites on the North Coast. Its location near the Atlantic side of the island and on the edge of the Bequia Channel where it is buffeted by currents, insures a steady supply of food that attracts fish and feeds the corals in the area. Schools of fish, snapper, chromis, tomates, and the occasional large grouper swim here among the swaying soft sea plumes and fans. It is worth a look for the dramatic scene near the shore where waves breaking on the rocks attract dense schools of silversides and the larger fish that dart in to feed on them.
