When you’re in the BVI, it’s obligatory to dive the RMS Rhone, a Royal Mail Steam Packet Company ship that sank in 1867 and was split in two by the force of a devastating hurricane. She’s 310 feet long: the bow section is in eighty feet of water and the stern in thirty so it was a good dive for Jamie.Jamie and Chris dived the wreck and came up waxing lyrical about the visibility, the fish, the lobster, the coral and we decided to return with full bottles so I could see it too. Alex and Chris snorkelled over the wreck so Alex got a glimpse – he’s dying to do his open water too.
We then went to The Baths on Virgin Gorda, a collection of giant boulders that look like a giant flung them together but are actually the result of volcanic activity. It’s a great snorkelling spot – when it’s a bit calmer. We all found it a bit rough but dutifully snorkelled around a bit imagining how pretty it would be...
