I dont mean to pimp business up here, but if I am not instructing on the first couple of days you are up here I do a mean guided dive package (In fairness to the competition, there are also other dive guides up here(They are just not as good ) ).

The Tabarka followed by the Markgraf are my favorites - having spent some very happy weeks pottering around the latter. The James Barrie is just a trawler, but it does look like a ship, I fail to get exited by it
If you are live a long way from Scapa and are unlikely to do it regularly, it is more than worth going for a guided tour - you will get way more out of the wrecks than left to your own devices, and see plenty you'd otherwise miss - particulalry on the KPW and the Markgraf.
Although I was guided through the wrecks before Baloo headed north, I've been in the water enough around him to know I'd recommend him.
