They say every great story leaves something behind—this one just happens to rest beneath the sea.
The RMS Rhone, a British mail steamer, sank during a hurricane in 1867 and now lies preserved in crystal-clear Caribbean waters off the coast of Tortola. Today, it’s the centerpiece of a world-renowned underwater experience, the Shipwreck Tour: RMS Rhone.
You can swim through history as you glide past the intact bow, propeller, and coral-covered remains. Snorkelers and divers alike can trace the ship’s final moments while discovering vibrant marine life that now calls this wreck home.
This is more than just a dive site—it’s a sunken time capsule, waiting for you to explore it.
Wreck of the Rhone
Dive into a living museum beneath the waves. The RMS Rhone is now a protected marine park, and the ship’s story is etched into its rusted hull and coral-covered bones. A visit here gives you the chance to connect with a piece of maritime history few ever get to see up close.
Calm currents, exceptional visibility, and surreal surroundings make the Shipwreck Tour: RMS Rhone a standout experience for all skill levels. From first-time snorkelers to experienced divers, this site offers the rare chance to explore living reef systems woven through a historic wreck.
Over the 130+ years since the wreck, this destination became a thriving underwater ecosystem. You’ll spot vibrant coral fans, colorful parrotfish, rays, and—if you’re lucky—a sea turtle gliding past the bow. Although the RMS Rhone lies at the bottom of the reef, it’s teeming with movement, color, and life. It’s one of the most biologically rich dive sites in the British Virgin Islands.
Historic Depths
Some places make history. This one became it.
