This is just about anything that a diver would want, you get the wreck itself, in between 40-80 feet of warm caribbean sea, spread over a swimmable area that allows for a varied two dives in a day. You get the fish, the turtles and the rays, but you also get some amazing, poignant, pics of the slowly corroding vessel, festooned with corals and other life. I'll be back.
I've done this dive 5 times and it did not get boring. Lots of marine life and super exciting to discover the ship from the in- and outside. I really enjoyed the dive at night, sort of scary and exciting at the same time. But really easy to get lost if you don't know the site to well (at night). My favourite memory was going through the wreck at night of course and the moment where you dive around the corals, turn around and see this massive ship! Great experience :)I did it private and with Blue Water Divers.Have fun!!
Parts of the sunken ship are only 15 feet below the surface. This site can be windy and difficult so be sure to stop on a day when the winds are not excessive.
One of the best natural wrecks I've ever dove! Large debris field and need 5-6 dives to explore and enjoy. Neat swim troughs and lots of history at 60-80'.
I love this wreck, and have dived it many times -- it never gets old. It is full of life, entirely encrusted with layer upon layer of corals and sponges. Big fish and tiny things, lots to photograph. You do it in two dives, first dive the deeper portion and the second dive the shallower. And if you're lucky, you go back for a night dive.
The 2nd dive was much better down to the RMS Rhone than the 1st. It was interesting to see this shipwreck and a piece of history.
Extraordinary and easy dive, you can go by snorkel to the shalow aereas 83 to 6 meters deep) or thaking your thanks down to 25 meters, the boat, the wild life, everything mades this place wonderfull
The stop could be snorkeled but better with SCUBA. Beware of the current. Try to stop off peak to get a mooring
Great Dive SiteA must dive site while diving in the British Virgin Islands, One of the ten best in the world :) !!!!
If you only are able to do ONE dive in BVI, make it this one. There is so much to see on the two sections of the RMS Rhone that you can do a two tank dive just here - one tank on the deeper bow section and the second tank on the shallower stern section. The stern section is only in 30-40 ft so is excellent to snorkel over as well.
