  • Wreck is in two sections, stern around 25-35 ft. depth, bow section up to 70 ft. deep with some penetration possible. Local dive guides will do resort course on the stern section.
  • The Rhone was the wreck featured in the movie "The Deep". The famous Jackie Bisset scene freaking out underwater with her scuba gear on was here and it was a real freakout too.
