FAQ
What is the history of the RMS Rhone shipwreck in the BVI?
The RMS Rhone was a 94-metre Royal Mail Steam Packet Company ship that sank during a devastating hurricane on October 29, 1867, near Salt Island in the British Virgin Islands. The storm tore the ship apart, and 123 of the 147 people aboard perished. It was one of the first wrecks to be designated a protected marine park.
Do you need two dives to see the entire RMS Rhone?
Yes, most operators split the RMS Rhone into two dives. The stern section sits deeper at 20-25 metres and is usually done first, while the bow section is shallower at 5-15 metres and makes an excellent second dive. Each section offers distinct features and marine life encounters.
Was the RMS Rhone featured in a movie?
Yes, the RMS Rhone was the filming location for the 1977 movie 'The Deep,' starring Jacqueline Bisset and Nick Nolte. The film brought worldwide attention to the wreck and helped establish it as one of the Caribbean's most famous dive sites. It remains the BVI's premier dive attraction.
