Rockclimbing in Snowdonia

Scuba Diving around the Orkneys
The waters around the Orkney islands, off the northeast coast of Scotland, is known as Scapa Flow, and is arguably the UK's best diving spot. This is largely due to a high concentration of shipwrecks, including seven German warships. Those who are new to diving can also gain their PADI qualification at Scapa Scuba on Stromness. If diving is not enough for you, the Orkneys are also the perfect place to go sailing, exploring or cycling, where fresh air and unspoilt views are the norm.
