Comments

First dive of our trip to Scapa Flow on MV Valkyrie.
I did all dives with Hannu Kuosa who was the trip organizer.
I had 2x12 liter steel cylinders on back, and 7 liter Alu deco stage.
Dry suit, Nanight Tech 2 torch, two cameras: Canon 7D in Ikelite housing with 2x DS161 strobes, and Olympus TG-5 on some dives.

This is an easy dive, there was plenty of light and pretty good visibility. The wreck is huge so we barely were able to swim it end to end. The shotline was near stern. We also later did another dive on it.
