UK - Scapa Flow

CLICK HERE FOR SCAPA FLOW 2006 REVIEW

We will drive to Scrabster, Scotland on the evening of Friday 1st June. Transport arrangements will be arranged once the number of divers has been confirmed. We have chartered MV Karin with skipper John Thornton and will be diving twice a day from Sunday 3rd to Friday 8th June and driving back on the Saturday. There are 7 twin cabins, all with full size mattresses, hot showers, 2 toilets, a drying room, two compressors and a galley and day room and 240 volts at any time supplied from 2 generators. Air and Nitrox diving run together with no problem, both are easily pumped on board. Rebreathers are also catered for and Trimix is available. All the famous Scapa Flow sites are available with the calm water and virtually guaranteed diving a big attraction. With good visibility and wrecks galore in depths of 10 - 45m it is the best wreck diving in Europe .

You have the option to stay onboard which is an additional fee of £45 for the week or you can stay at a B+B for about £25 pp per night. Staying on board means having the freedom of movement to stay at different ports around Scapa Flow each evening, it also gives us the opportunity to travel to less dived areas like the Stack etc that is 35 miles to the west of the islands, at least one wreck lies here. Accommodation on board is pretty basic but there are hot showers and full sized beds to sleep in. You will be responsible to pay for food and drinks on top of the holiday price.

• Use of 15 litre cylinders (twin set divers please bring one cylinder)
