Managing to avoid the threat of lockdowns and covid restrictions, 10 of us spent a week in October diving the German High Seas Fleet in Scapa Flow. For me, the sheer scale of the battleships was amazing – they’re bigger than wreck I’ve ever dived before! We had some fantastic dives – Emily, the owner and skipper of MV Huskyan, gives the most amazing and informative dive briefings, so when you get to the bottom of the shotline, you know what to expect and what to look out for on the wreck.
Diving the Markgraf was epic! Swimming over the stern, there was a flash of white as a guillemot swam past me at 40m depth!
If you get the chance to visit Scapa Flow, I thoroughly recommend it!
