The Rose Castle

Marconi radio

By far the most eerie and most beautiful of the wrecks was the Rose Castle. It lies at about 100 FSW and totally adorned by soft corals. Because the Rose Castle is so deep icebergs don’t hit it and it’s mostly intact. You can even look inside the control room and see an old marconi radio. It was truly amazing to see the history. But my favorite part about this wreck was the soft corals that grew along it. Delicate red, white, and yellow soft corals grow in large scale around the Rose Castle. I even saw a small school of five cod swimming around. The dive was fantastic! It was also my deepest dive at 110 ft. The Rose Castle was probably my favorite out of the four wrecks we dove in Bell Isle.
