Day 5&6 – Turtle
I woke up Sunday morning with a burning desire to see sharks. We had the normal breakfast routine at the Mango house, and headed towards the marina afterwards. At the marina, we loaded up and headed for the RMS Rhone. Even though I had already heard the story multiple times, it still interests me. It was built in 1865,...
Day 3 – jack barker
In the morning today we went out to do two dives. The first was the wreck of the Rhone. In 1800s it was sailing through the BVI and one of the biggest hurricanes in BVI history swept in. When the hurricanes blew in captain wolly tried move the boat out farther in to see, when one of the crew...
BVI Year Two, Day Two
Day two certainly outclassed day one and the reason behind that is Ginger island. Ginger island had two of the best dive sites I've ever seen. The first location was ginger steps, an approximately ninety foot dive with some incredible topography, multiple shelfs, overhangs and sandy spots, there was even a sand channel. Sand channels are pretty darn neat...

Schonberg Day 3:
Today we began the day by diving on a wreck that sank in the 1800's. The RMS Rhone was being driven through the BVI when all of a sudden the barometric pressure dropped. The captain new a storm was coming so he ordered all of the passengers to go to there rooms and told the crew to lock first...
Day Two on the Island..
Today I woke up tired, sunburnt, and hungry. A cold shower soothed my sunburn, a box of cereal quenched my appetite, and I was permanently tired throughout the day. It was a short ride to the marina where the boats were ready to set out. Sea Dragon, the boat I am on, went to Ginger Steps. Ginger Steps are...
Sauer Day 2
