    Dive the best wreck site in Europe.

    Scapa Flow is an amazing place to try sea diving - where so many ships have been scuppered - like the German fleet of the first world war.

    The small town of Stromness is the main centre, with many companies, using former fishing boats.

    Very safe, professional and a great experience.

    Try something different - make your holiday or vacation special, take a dive.

    Equipment: Check with company but all can be provided.

    Good accommodation and entertainment in Stromness.

    Best in winter - better visibility.

     Enjoyed your page.. again. Sent it on to a friend whose ancestors are from Orkney. I'm sure she'll love what you've done here. Ah! Happy birthday just a bit early. Have fun!    		JessH Mon Jun 8, 2009 08:17 UTC
     Hi Malcolm! Great page here with superb stories & info; well-deserving of a top 5 rank! Let's see if we make it up to Orkney this summer. So far the furtherst north we've been is Ullapool... we're slowly working our way up! / Jess ;-)
