A great week of diving aboard MV Huskyan, a purpose built dive boat with great dive briefings, a great skipper, really tasty homemade treats and the best (all the trimmings hot chocolate!)
The main attraction to Scapa Flow is the WWI German High Seas Fleet, entombed in the still green waters since 1919 following their scuttling by Admiral Von Reuter.
Three 25,797 tonne battleships, three light cruisers, one fast mine layer and numerous other sites related to the sinking lie within the main body of the Flow - all offering fantastic diving.
Covered in life, massive guns and breathtaking levels of preservation means these wrecks have something for everyone.
