| RMS Rhone, Salt Island, BVI | N 18° 22.1', W 64° 32.1' | |||
| Dive Number 147 | Buddy Martin | Surface temp mild | Starting pressure 3000psi | |
| Depth 73ft | Visibility excellent | Time 46m | Water temp 24°C | Ending pressure 800psi | Notes: | The RMS Rhone is considered by some to be the most amazing wreck dive in the Caribbean. Given its popularity, the Cuan Law wisely does dives of the bow by early morning and late night to avoid traffic. Since Martin and I were [as of yet] the only divers on board, this meant that when we arrived by early morning, we and Maddy were the only divers on the whole of the wreck. [I am still a little flabbergasted by this]. We enjoyed the swimthrough [pictured], which I was unable to do last time, and spent a while admiring the Roman column feel of the part of the flooring that now hosts an impressive array of coral. We also spied one of many lionfish that we'd eventually see over the week, as well as a southern ray under the tip of the bow. |
