Afternoon,Hi All:
Looking for a budget to do the WWI wrecks. Coming from Canada. Any SCUBA Shops or Travel Agencies there do this?

Depending when you're fancying, most of the charter boars have their prices on the website. I use Bob on Clasina, its a big open dive deck and the briefings are good.
2026 Booking – Halton Charters
For '26 in Scapa he's doing £180 per diving day, so get on the boat Saturday afternoon, eat in Stromness, fed and diving Sunday to Friday, get off the boat Saturday morning not fed. Total £1080. I plan for about £200-250 for the week in boat snacks from Tesco, beer and meals both Saturdays. Air is included, sofnolime, O2 an He prices vary by season but current prices will be on his website, but typically I'd use about £50 in He and O2 on CCR. Bob has cylinders and lead, same as most UK boats I think, but you'd need to bring or sort the rest elsewhere.
Travel would be what's easiest into the UK and on to Orkney. I've organised trips with people flying in, some fly to London and hire a car and drive, others to Glasgow and drive, a few fly all the way to Kirkwall with the various connections. Depends on what you have time wise and connections wise, but Glasgow often seems the best balance.
Hope that helps,
Rich
