Scuba Diving and snorkeling the wreck of The Rhone

This be the sight of the 1867 wreck of the RMS Rhone, a state of the art Royal Mail Ship made of steel and powered by steam and sail...

As Jason, Charlie, Dylan, and Wendy snorkeled above , Matt, Richard, and the Dread Captain Roberrts dove the wreck of the RMS Rhone, below. Which included some "swim-throughs"...

The Rhone sank in 1867 with the loss over 200 passengers, lashed in their bunks to keep them safe during the heavy seas. Only one passenger survived, as did 23 of the crew. Part of the wreck dive is to rub the porthole of the "lucky passenger", which Richard and I both did.

Here's the gearbox and drive shaft... We scuba-ed through that box... it is huge.













And another dive boat moored neareby...


The wreck of the Rhone was also used in the moive "the Deep". Richard kept looking for Jacqueline Bisset but she was not sighted... the pity.

And Jason saw a turtle that was how big?
