We are entering our thirteenth year in the under water tours of Scapa Flow. We use a Falcon ROV to send crisp and real time footage up to the monitors in the passenger boat Guide. There is a running commentary on the images as they appear from the archaeology of the now 90 year old wreck and all the wild life living on this man made reef.

1. * The ‘Guide” leaves Houton Pier in Orphir at 13:20 most days during the season, but please note that we also run a survey company which means we do not guarantee this trip and recommend that you book when you get to Orkney as we do not take advance bookings for this reason.
