The 65ft John L is one of the largest day boats operating in Scapa Flow, spacious and comfortable with heated changing room with drying facilities to kit up in. There is a large day cabin with cooker and hot drinks are freely available throughout the day. The boat is fully equipped with all safety and navigation equipment and has a full MCA code of practice. There are two different O2 medical systems in case of any problems. It is one of the few boats here to have a prop guard for extra safety in the water (see picture). The main compressor of 24 CFM is engine room mounted to minimize noise levels, there is also a standby 12 CFM compressor, both provide double filtered air to 300 bar if required there is also a large air bank. Nitrox is available on board and the skippers are both qualified gas blenders. There is also a fresh water tank for rinsing kit, a diver friendly ladder and a toilet.

This steel former tug/workboat is an ideal diving boat being a stable platform with low free board for easy entry and return. There is also an experienced extra crewmember to assist you at all times.

We provide - 15lt & 12 lt O2 cleaned 232 bar steel tanks (for the 2002 season) which are din convertible and A clamps, air, weights, weight belts, back-packs, all-inclusive. The only additional cost is for nitrox for those who are qualified to use it. Nitrox is charged at 1p a compressed litre of O2, eg 12lt tank @30% mix = £3.25
