Comments	Emily Turton was an amazing skipper, cook, and very knowledgeable regarding Scapa Flow. She has a MCA category 3 Boatmasters Licence and a commercially endorsed Offshore Yachtmaster qualification. She has a great sense of humor and we would highly recommend her to anyone considering a trip to the Orkneys. The wrecks, from both WW1 and WW2, were generally deeper dives with variable visibility. Although much salvage has taken place in years past, there still remains many interesting features and history. There was a fair amount of critters for a variety of interests. You won't have far to go when disembarking the ferry from Scottish mainland to Stromness, Orkney - the Historical Miller's House B&B is just a short walk across the road to the dive boat. Wonderful, welcoming accommodation with fabulous breakfasts.
