Well, here is my last update of the Scapa holiday

Friday, Dive day 6

the day started pretty much as the rest a little breakfast and then head off to the boat. This time we picked our favourite dives of the week that we wanted a little more of.

Dive 1, SMS Dresdon

The visibility today was a little worse than before, and we all decided to explore the stern... cough... we all know that plans change under water at any given moment in time, soooo.. some of us ended up at the bow. funny that. Another great dive

Dive 2, SMS Coln

Just a fantastic as the day before. lots of fish conga eels, crabs and starfish. Oh and a wreck. A great dive to to more than once, it was not boring at all.

Once back on dry land we unhappily packed all the gear in to the van and either, did a little shopping, went to the pub of fell a sleep. Some of us did all three. then off to dinner and that's when the party Started. There were live bands playing in the Ferry inn so that is where we settled for the night. Then the After shocks started. People drifted off as they chose, and then three mad men launched them selves into the harbour....you know who you are...to an audience of about 50 people.

ahh what an end to a fantastic week of diving. I can Highly recommend Scapa Scuba for overnight repairs if you have a dry suit nightmare up there, Emily aboard the Radiant Queen is a fantastic captain (she is the one that found the camera) and the company has been excellent.

A top week in all and I highly recommend that you dive Scapa at least once in you life. It is awesome. However, these wrecks are deep, the sea is dark, the weather is changeable. You have to be prepared for a strenuous week of deep diving, it takes its toll and is not for novices. Minimum requirement is Advanced open water with Deep Dive Spec and previous sea experience IMHO.
