Specially commissioned features in the SCAPA edition include:
- The backstory of Scapa’s iconic wrecks

‘SCAPA’ magazine special edition for all divers
BSAC Chair Alex Warzynski said the team behind SCUBA had put together a stunning special issue on SCAPA which would be a fantastic go-to guide for anyone interested in diving the Flow.
Our SCAPA Special really showcases what a world-class diving destination we have right on our own doorstep. Having dived Scapa many times, it’s a location that’s close to my heart, so I’m delighted we are able to make this fantastic special issue available to all. I really hope it inspires even more people to discover Scapa’s truly remarkable history as well as its awe-inspiring wreck sites for themselves.
