We are entering our eleventh year in the under water tours of Scapa Flow. Last year we upgraded our Hyball ROV to a Sea Eye Falcon as well as adding a 32 inch LCD monitor for viewing. The combination has improved the underwater real time footage, which was excellent, to absolutely  awesome. The more powerful ROV covers more ground and at the same time is a steadier platform to view the perfect images of the old historic wrecks of the Kaiser’s High Seas Fleet. We can get up close to the marine life, which sometimes includes the occasional diver, with the crisp clarity of the high resolution onboard camera.
