Details from skipper Emily: A charter week runs from Sunday – Friday, 6 days diving aboard MV Huskyan. Accommodation is for 7 nights (Saturday – Friday) ashore in Stromness in our own ‘divers lodge’ – a large self catering house only 60 metres from the boat.  The house has 5 bedrooms all with sinks and lockable doors, 4 bathrooms, kitchen diner, living room with seating for 13, 42” plasma & DVD. There is also a washing machine & tumble dryer, wireless internet access and a 6th “snorers” bedroom – just in case. All linen & large fluffy towels are included.

  • 7 nights’ accommodation
  • 6 days diving (2 dives per day)
  • the use of a single 12l or 15l cylinder if required
  • use of lead weights (please bring your own belts)
  • air fills (nitrox available charged extra, trimix by prior arrangement)
  • as much tea, coffee & biscuits as you can consume! After dive pints of tea served as standard!!!!
  • accurate dive briefings ”stories” – Over 25 years combined experience diving the German Fleet. We are the only boat offering this level of briefing in Scapa.
Lunch can also be provided aboard. Our food is fast gaining the reputation as the best in Scapa. Fresh local produce is used and the home baking is fantastic! Pre-booking is essential and special dietary requirements can be catered for.
Should you require any equipment hire this can also be arranged for you through Scapa Scuba.
Boat Info
 
MV Huskyan is a purpose built, brand new boat. Designed by divers and built to last! She is 16m long with a beam of 6m. Her square stern allows for a massive 33 m² dive deck.
Huskyan’s clever design means that we will double the space of the Radiant Queen without needing to be double the length! She has been specifically designed by our naval architect to be a comfortable and stable diving platform. The benefits of a newbuild mean that Huskyan is tailor made to suit the needs of the diver with no need to compromise because of existing layouts of 2nd hand vessels. Couple this with our shorebased accommodation – Divers Lodge – and there really is no other choice for Scapa!
