Salt Island is a small near-uninhabited British Virgin Island, 5 kilometres south of Tortola in the Sir Francis Drake Channel between Peter Island and Cooper Island. The island takes its name from three natural salt ponds in the centre — historically the BVI's primary salt source, traditionally collected by the few residents who paid an annual one-pound-of-salt rent to the British Crown until 2015. The island's defining feature is the offshore wreck of the RMS Rhone — a 95-metre British Royal Mail Steam Packet Company iron-hulled paddle steamer that sank in the 1867 San Narciso Hurricane with the loss of 123 lives. The wreck is broken into two sections in 9-25 metres of water, the most-dived site in the BVI, famous as the underwater set of the 1977 film The Deep. Salt Island is 30 minutes from Cooper Island. Season runs year-round.
