A well broken Panamanian steamship.

Oceana (Eday) 14m
In three sections with good swim throughs.

Loch Garry (the string) 23m, 390 tons
excelent dive with usually good vis .

Loch Maddy (Deerness) 12m, stern of large freighter
still with cargo in the holds

Cotavia (Auskerry) 40m 4000 ton
This is an excellent wreck with large boilers, engine block and shell cases around the stern.

Tomalina (Westray): 27m, 200 ton
One of the best dives in Orkney. .

Llama (Westray) 14m 3000 ton Tanker
Often with stunning visibility

Tosto (Westray) 55m, 1300 tons
Intact with mine damage, sank in 1917

Freesia (Eynhallow) 40m, 290 ton
Trawler sank in 1922 partially broken

Endeavour (Shapinsay) 30m 140 tons
Lying upright on the seabed, reasonably intact

Zarefah (Mull Head) 40m 280 ton
recently discovered in the summer of 2002.

Although some of these wrecks are in the shallow range they remain superb dives with much of interest. Also with the numbers of divers each year visiting these site being few, some of them are real logbook boasts.

Usual YD rules apply for this trip ... if you book on a space by including your name then you are agreeing to pay for the place.
