| There
are plenty of other wrecks to investigate in the Scapa Flow, far too many
to list here. A trip to the Orkney Islands is well worth it for you wreck
divers. For more information on Scapa Flow wrecks check out

These
three Battlecruisers all turned turtle as they sank so although the max
depths for these wrecks are quite deep you can opt for a shallower dive by
diving to the hull and swimming the length of the ship. Depths are between
12m - 22m. |
