A few words were administered afterwards!!

Hmm ... sounds much the same as this

and strangely enough they were from the John L as well! And what's more our skipper (Mervyn, MV Bounteous Sea) had warned John L that we were decoing on
the shot

Topping up to 40% we decided on a 50min dive onto the Karlsrhue with no deco obligation. Dropping down the shot we followed Gary and NickB and met the ‘virgins’ coming up the other way.

well despite saying still on the line for my stops it was nice for my buddy and i to be introduced to the bottom of some of Invicibles tanks and fins landing on us at various stages of their descent......

Busy place like Scapa your better off doing your deco away from the fixed shots if your gonna get upset about other divers bumping you, most shots struggle to deal with 1 boat load let alone 2.

You don't honestly expect anyone to risk missing the wreck cos of a few divers on the line?

Personally i never came back up any shot there, much easier to bag off.

i doubt very much it was any of us - i don't recall a single diver on any of the shots during any of our descents...

Another great report and I am, as always impressed by the photos!
Gives some publications a run for their money
Got a trip planned April so thanks for a taste of whats on offer
The real challenge would have been driving up in the SMART ?

It wouldn't have been much of a problem for me as I had to fit all the kit in the SMART anyway as I had to swap cars with my missus (lives somewhere else) and drive my kit and the kids up to Donny. But doing 13hr+ driving on your own would be pretty boring and prob quiet unsafe!
