Divers Delight

 

BVI BEST

The most beautiful dive is the Wreck of the Rhone (located next to Salt Island). Submerged in approximately 20 to 80 feet of water, the RMS Rhone lies in Lee Bay off Salt Island. The Marine Park extends to the west to include the islands of Dead Chest with additional dive sites such as the underwater pinnacles and ledges at Blonde Rock, the colourful canyons of Painted Walls, and the coral encrusted tunnels and cave at Rhone Reef. The anchor of the Rhone lies further northwest off Salt Island at Great Harbour on Peter Island, where it was abandoned by the Rhone in 55ft of water.

The wreck itself is encrusted with marine organisms, including calcareous algae, sponge, and coral, whilst providing shelter for a large variety of inquisitive reef fish.  The Wreck of the Rhone is the most popular dive site in the BVI, as it is an easily accessible wreck dive with legendary history. Sunk by a hurricane in 1867, the wreck of the Royal Mail Steamer Rhone lies in two main parts at depths between 20 and 80 feet.

BEAUTIFUL !!!!

The vessel was originally 310 feet long and 40 feet wide, weighting 2,738 gross registered tons. Much of it is still intact and visible, including the bow section, boilers, condenser, engines and prop shaft, parts of the rigging and the propeller.
