RMS RHONE, AFT SECTION
SALT ISLAND, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS | WRECK DIVE

We do an especially nice tour of the boiler, the galley, and the ship’s midsection with its ribs splayed wide open. We then circle back and do a swimthrough the stern and over the large partially submerged propeller, a remarkable sight. Janel and I explore around for a while and finally locate the ship’s lucky porthole, where we both give it a rub. We then locate the captain’s spoon. There is plenty of great macro exploring to do over the wreck as well. Nearing the end of the dive, we find and explore a pretty cool vertical rock “room” located just off the tip of the stern, a little bit SSE of the wreck. | |||||||||
