Scapa Flow:
Historic Wreck Site

Scapa Flow ranks as one of the world’s top diving destinations, but many people who will never even get their feet wet are fascinated with what lies beneath its surface.

This website provides the definitive guide to the maritime archaeology and history of Scapa Flow.

With a world-class wreck resource set in the rugged beauty of the Orkney landscape, visiting Scapa Flow is an unparalleled experience. Some wrecks offer a fantastic introduction to wreck diving, others a stimulating challenge for technical divers. However, www.scapaflowwrecks.com provides a window into this world for everyone around the globe, whether they are divers or not.
