Best time to dive Scapa?

Looking to dive Scapa sometime this year and wondering what the best time is to dive there.

Not fussed about temperature but looking to go when the visibility is at it's best.

Any do's and don'ts gratefully accepted:

Doing it in April with the gang and given their experience there it is great viz etc although a mite chilly both in and out of the water so there is a payback.
