hi guys
check out my website for orcas Scapa Flow Diving Centre - The Dive Of Your Life we had them round the boat for 30 mins or so earlier this year they had just killed a seal and where showing the young how to handle it ,
divers decided not to get in with them wise move I think.

Dave is quite correct and it is a point of Scapa Fow that does get missed with all the wreck talk, over the last few years we see more an more life in Scapa from whales to orca and just an amazing increase in fish on the wrecks, a couple of seals have been playing with the divers on both the sites of Brummer and Coln for most of this season. Guillemots at 36m are becomng a normal sight!!

Would be a challenge to all of us up here to run a wildlife trip, butI am sure it would be good fun.

It was the bit about Scapa that suprised me and pleased me the most on my visit - the amount of life on the wrecks. Holding my breath on a swim-through on the Koln that was stuffed with fish. Almost reminiscent of the glassfish in the Carnatic!

Plus after years of trying to see baskers in Cornwall we saw two in Scapa.

A wildlife trip up there would be a very interesting proposition at the right time of year.
