Actually, the RMS Rhone was one of the first iron hull ships powered by steam and sail. Because it is iron hull, the plates have rusted off and the frame of the ship is still mostly intact. It makes for a great swim through. |
I was actually just reading up a bit on the Rhone. It looks like vandals have looted and destroyed some things there in the past few years. Specifically, it looks like the huge wrenches have been taken and apparently someone tried to remove a port hole with a crowbar. Still sounds like a great dive though. Anyone see Octopi there? |
It is quite surprising that could happen. It is such a popular dive location. I went there on a cruise ship shore excursion. When we arrived at the site there was another dive boat and two people diving from a private boat. When we came up from our dive there was at least four more private boats and two dive boats getting ready to go down.
Hard to believe anyone could go in there and try taking stuff without someone catching them.
