Today we had plans to dive the Wreck of the Rhone, a famous steam ship that was sunk in October 1867 off the coast of Salt Island. Upon our arrival, we found that there was too much to much of a current to dive there, so we changed locations and decided to dive the Wreck of the Fearless. Even though we couldn't swim through it, like we would have been able to do at The Rhone, the ships walls had been deteriorated so we could see through it to the other side. There was some of the most colorful coral growing on the wreck which attracted exquisite fish to the site. We were able to see some trunk fish, my favorite species that are native to the islands. Cat and I have recently been on the search to find a juvenile trunkfish since they are so adorable. For our second dive we went back to the Rhone and were able to dive half of it, but were not able to swim through, but hopefully we will come back another time and dive the whole ship. The nice part about going back to the Rhone was that my mom and dad were able to snorkel since part of the wreck is only 30-40 feet, while Cat, my brother and I were able to dive it. Today is our last day on the boat and tomorrow we will be moving onto the farm and meeting our mentor, Aragorn, and the people that work there.
