If you are an advanced diver, then don't miss this memorable two-tank diving excursion at the wreck of the RMS Rhone; voted the Caribbean's best wreck dive site by Sport Diver magazine.
Depart the pier aboard a dive boat for the ride to the RMS Rhone, a 310-foot-long wreck that sank in 1867 with about 80 passengers on board. Located adjacent to Salt Island, she is world-renowned as a night and wreck dive site. Although most of the diving in the British Virgin Islands can be described as novice-to-intermediate-level diving, the RMS Rhone is located in open water where water and current conditions can change rapidly. As a result, this tour is only recommended for advanced divers.
Upon arrival at the wreck, you will be outfitted with diving equipment, then receive your safety and diving instructions before entering the water. During your dive, you will see an abundance of coral and marine life. The bow section of this 310-foot-long wreck remains almost completely intact, enabling you to explore her interior. Items to be seen include brass portholes, silver spoons embedded in the coral, galley floor tiles and sinks, massive wrench sets, cannons, and the prop; only the sixth of its kind ever built.
Your captain and diving instructor will provide you with assistance in the water, and throughout both dives. Snacks, beer and refreshments will be served on board.
Following your two-tank dive, you will be returned to the pier.
