You should be able to get everything for the Rebreather there - Sorb might cost a bit more as they have to pay extra for shipping up to the Orkneys I think.
If you are flying up to the Orkneys, just double check your baggage allowances for the UK bit of it - standard UK allowance is 1 x 23kg checked baggage, 1 x 5kg hand luggage. Although this varies with different airlines.

Be sure you will recieve the best service possible with John Thornton (MV KARIN owner-skipper).... JPT on this website
I have been 6 times in Scapa with him, for trimix weeks or in the flow dives, and John is a great skipper and ccr diver for ages.

Enjoy.....
