I thought I would let you and everyone know that my grey matter has increased, in my lookings I found Mad-Dog Expeditions and here is a bit of info:
Scapa Flow is a place with which most Americans are not familiar, yet it is Europe's most popular wreck diving destination. Recreational diving charter services in Scapa started in 1980. Since that time, groups from throughout Europe and North America have ventured here. Located in the scenic Orkney Islands, off Scotland's north coast, Scapa Flow is a natural, deep-water harbor. The "Flow" offers excellent diving and is unique to history. It was here that 74 interned warships of the German High Seas Fleet scuttled themselves shortly after the First World War. This act is unparalleled in history. Seven major vessels from the High Seas Fleet remain on the bottom and provide divers a rare glimpse into a past age. Other wrecks from the two World Wars abound, marine life is plentiful and visibility up to 100 feet can be enjoyed.
The place referred to as "Orkney" by natives is an archipelago of about 70 islands, 20 of which are inhabited by humans. Seals, over 300 bird species and other wildlife claim the majority of Orkney's islands as theirs exclusively. Historic, accessible monuments dating back 6,000 years chronicle man's habitation of the Orkney Islands. Although many visitors come to this starkly beautiful and wind-swept place to view the plentiful wildlife and historic monuments, most divers are initially attracted by the remains of the Kaiser's High Seas Fleet.
The size and profiles of the Fleet wrecks makes an immediate impression on the diver. Each of the wrecks can be dived within accepted U.S. and British Recreational depth limits. Nowhere else is there such a proliferation of easily assessable warships within recreational depths available to the diver.
