Very likely, this should have been the first post in the series, but since I’m a bit unmoored in my writing style and I wanted you to truly get the feel for what it would have been like; to have been on that ill-fated ship, then dive her.

Here we go:
Here’s the stories with dive photos I’ve published previously in this series:

There are still large groupers and barracuda on the wreck, the lucky porthole is there and the Captain’s spoon is all still there for divers to see. If you get the chance, this wreck is awesome and the BVI’s are a great place to go sail. And, this post finally finishes my 3-part series on diving the RMS Rhone in the BVI–
