First dive Last dive 		1 Aug 1982 Brummer Scapa Flow Orkney Scotland Wreck site 34 16 27 Iain Hosking, Susan Playfair Four stars Planned 30 mins at 30m + stops at 10 & 5. Changed our minds when we went down to 27 at 32 + stops. In the event we went to 34m so Susan had us surface, somewhat dissatisfied, at 16 mins. Subtly narked, I swam to the stern instead of the bows, but we saw various gun turrets and dipped inside a couple of times. Good dive. We'll be back. own, twin 60s.

To stern first (though I thought it was the bows again...) and then past stern turrets, funnels, midships six inch turret, bridge, bow turret. It's possible to get into the wreck. own, twin 60s, +12lbs

First dive Last dive 		2 Jul 1986 Brummer Scapa Flow Orkney Scotland Wreck site 34 25 40 Iain Hosking, Kenny Jack Four stars Tour around the aluminium-framed bridge, then aft to the engine room, aft mast and superstructure. Forward again to bridge, and on to the bows. Saw most of the wreck, I think. Good dive but foggy and cold. own, twin 55s, 24lbs
