The Orkney Islands are to be found a short crossing over the Pentland Firth from the north of Scotland. The most popular attraction by far is Scapa Flow with it's wealth of diving. Coupled to this is the sheltered nature of Scapa Flow which allows a safe dive site to be found, in anything but the most extreme of weather conditions.

Less well known, and certainly less dived, are the Northern Isles, yet this area too has an equal abundance of diving.
