Dive Into History In Scapa Flow
Guided Dives
Scotland
The best thing about guided dives, is getting those small details pointed out to you which would be so easy to miss if diving independently (Like the writing on the back of a 15cm gun, or the tiny nudribanch). It would be sad to come all the way to Orkney, only to swim past some of the amazing life or cool parts of wreck because you didn't realise they were there (it's easily done, trust us, even the massive guns are missed by people!)
If you'd like your experience immortalised ask our in house photographer to come along!
The Churchill Barriers have a number of British WW1 and WW2 shipwrecks to explore, all within a maximum depth of 11 meters, making them a great dive for all levels of diver. Both the wrecks and the barriers themselves have become artificial reefs, providing shelter for a huge number of creatures and plants that call them home. The combination of wreck and life make these awesome sites whether you're all about the metal or prefer the smaller "squidgy" stuff.
Prerequisites: PADI OW or equivalent
£195 for 2 dives
Single Dive available £125
Scapa Flow is world famous in the diving world for the German High Seas fleet which was sunk here at the end of WW1. Like the wrecks at the shore, these huge historical ships now act as artificial reefs and there's something super satisfying about seeing what would have been the ultimate killing machine coated in beautiful anemones as nature takes over.
As well as exploring the German High Seas Fleet, we also offer guided boat dives on the cliffs and walls around Orkney which offer some incredible dramatic scenic diving with a wide array of life. Having this variety of sites means we nearly always have somewhere to dive unless the weather is really cruel!
