Overall Rating

This trip consisted of two dives. Our dive boat left out of Red Hook, St.
Thomas at 8:30 AM and returned at 4:00 PM. A cold lunch was provided
between the dives. The boat had some shaded area and a head. Chris Sawyer
gave an excellent, detailed account of the RMS Rhone's history during the
trip over, with charts and photos, which greatly added to the diving
experience. During the dives, the guides pointed out interesting objects
and sea life (like the chain eel). The guided dives didn't allow much time
for photo taking as the guides wanted to cover the entire wreck over the
two dives. A videographer was present to record the experience and each
diver.

This is a great wreck dive - totally worth the long boat ride. The size of
the propeller and rudder compare with those of the Queen Mary. You have to
back off to really appreciate the size of this wreck. The glass in the
portholes is still intact, half buried in the sand. The dive operation was
well run and the crew were friendly and helpful.
