| Re: Scapa Flow May 2007
Very good report- sums Scapa up very nicely.
Our club generally goes up every other year, last time with 24 divers and 2 charter boats! (Yes its that popular)
I'd avoid the UB-116 though, pile of crap and we have far better U-boat dives elsewhere in the UK (U-1021 off Newquay in the South West for example) Also despite the snobbery its worth diving the shallow block ships (only 12-18mtrs deep) but as they are in the channels between the Flow and the Sea the viz is often as not 30mtrs+
Lastly- Self inflating SMB's rock, wouldn't dream of diving without one
