Overall Rating

The diving around the east of end of St. Thomas is average. The crew was
very friendly and helpful and showed us the best of what was available. The
hilight of the trip was the visit to the RMS Rhone. These two dives were
fantastic and the the Rhone's reputation is well earned. Chris Sawyer gives
a 45 minutes history talk on the way to the site which has more info than
any of the books I have subsequently read. The crew is a lot of fun to dive
with but very safety concsious. My wife's reg needed to have its tuning
tweaked and this was done overnight at no charge. My high pressure hose
blew at the beginning of the second dive on the Rhone. I thought my second
dive was toast. After I threw my BC onto the dive platform in disgust Chris
Sawyer had installed a new hose and SPG on my regulator by time I dragged
myself onto the dive platform. The second dive was saved and I got some
great video.
