Scapa flow is a natural harbor in the Orkney island in the North of Scotland. This site is well known from a historical point of view as it was the United Kingdom’s chief naval base during World War I and World War II. At the end of the WWI as part of the Armistice agreement, the German High Seas Fleet was ordered into Scapa Flow to be interned. On the 21 June 1919, the German fleet scuttled its ships to prevent their falling into British hands and 52 ships were sunk. During the thirties, the majority of the German ships were raised in one of the largest ever salvage operations in history. Only seven of the 52 ships remain in the Flow, three massive battleships, three light cruisers and a fast mine-layer. They lie between 45 and 12 meters and are now fascinating playgrounds for divers. At the end of July, I had the chance to be hosted by Scapa Scuba dive center and dived some of those astonishing pieces of history. The super friendly staff know the wrecks and their histories perfectly. It was very impressive and I felt really small diving on the big battleship. Scapa scuba is located in the beautiful town of Stromness in the old red Lifeboat House. The shop also makes bespoke drysuits and very fun hoods. It is the only place where you can find hoods with a sharks, monkey or devil shape!
