Spectacular Snorkelling

We snorkelled in 2 wonderful locations in the B.V.I. on April 24th, 2008.
Our first site was off Salt Island's rocky shore where we viewed the wreck of the R.M.S. Rhone (of the movie "The Deep" fame, yes, starring Jacqueline Bissett).
The 331 foot wreck was clearly visible in 20-80 feet of water. We could easily identify the propeller, cargo room, port holes, propeller shaft, rudder, boilers, water pump, grating, bow sprit and mast.
It was absolutely breath-taking to see "her" laying there but sad and eerie as well to think of the tragic events in the hurricane force winds on October 29, l867 that led to her and most of her company's demise.
During our time at this location we also sighted an eagle ray, a school of squid and a large sea turtle.
We next sailed around neighbouring Peter Island to arrive at our second snorkelling location - "the Indians" (off Norman Island).
The surrounding water was crystal clear and we were awed by the abundance of sea life in the area - all manner of corals, fans and every colour of fish imaginable.
As well, at this location we sighted a great barracuda and a blacktip shark, for a total today of 1 shark, a school of squid, 1 barracuda, 1 sea turtle, 1 eagle ray and thousands of colourful reef fish - WOW what a day!
