VIZ!

On a good Scapa day, great. On a bad Scapa day - hah! We all know how easy it is to lose a buddy in poor viz, let alone another 6 folk.

I would want to be next to the wreck, not out from it, in order to get a good view etc, and hence you would be looking at 7 people all in a row, potentially. Therefore, to guide effectively I would have thought a guide front and rear would be more realistic.

On the plus side, guided tours in themselves are a good idea, especially on trips where you may only get one shot at diving a particular wreck - it is so easy to miss the "star turns" of each wreck. Then again, I usually miss the guns because I am admiring a particularily fine fish or slug
