How to get ready for getting in the water with us 🤿🐙

In other words, what should you wear underneath your drysuit?

Staying warm is important, so before you set off make sure you have a decent pair of tracksuit bottoms or leggings, and a sweater without a hood – plus a pair of thick, warm socks.

Thermals are ideal, if you have them, especially if you feel the cold easily.

Also remember to bring plenty of water to drink, and something to eat to keep you going 💪

We also had a yearly regulars Freya and Helena join us for their first night dive as well

So many wonderful creatures to see. Prawns and stickleback galore as well as lobster, scorpion fish, pipefish and various crabs

🐙🤿 Night snorkels are back! 🤿🐙

Have you ever wanted to see what the underwater world is like after dark? This is your chance to find out!

You’ll get to explore the underwater world of the Churchill Barriers at night without ever leaving the surface of the water, equipped with your own torch and safety lights on your snorkel so you can easily follow your buddy.

It’s an amazing way to witness a different side of the planet and see some creatures you might not have seen before.

Summer might be over and the nights are drawing in, but we’re still going strong throughout September 😃

It’s a great month to get in the sea, the water is (hopefully!) warmer, and there are less crowds around the island now that the busy tourist season has finished.

Come and give it a try before the cold weather really sets in! 🐙🤿

Proud to represent Orkney’s vibrant marine tourism sector alongside so many incredible local businesses!

Thanks to Pentland Ferries for the mention.

If you’re visiting the islands soon, make sure to explore our coastline both above and below the waves.

See Orkney from below the surface with Kraken Diving, the islands’ only dive centre. From snorkel safaris around the Churchill Barriers and Orkney’s coastline to guided dives in Scapa Flow, there are options for both beginners and experienced divers.

New to diving? Try a dive with no previous experience required, or build your skills through recreational and technical diving courses. For those who prefer to stay above the water, snorkelling trips offer another way to explore Orkney’s marine environment.

😍Divemaster fun😍

As part of the PADI Divemaster course, you need to do a kit exchange, where you are neutrally buoyant exchanging BCD and mask and fins

Our interns have been giving it a go this month and this was definitely the highlight. Rob had to step in as a helper, as we have 3 interns this year, so Andrew and he swapped their kit. While doing this, they did a wonderful pirouette underwater then swapped fins under each others legs🤣

Summer is coming to a close but we're still going strong for the next couple of months 🥳

Kraken Diving is open until 23rd October, so there’s still plenty of time to come diving or snorkelling with us before we close for the season.

Autumn in Orkney tends to be a bit quieter as the peak tourist season passes. Plus, you get the chance to explore the underwater at night once the darker nights start to close in. It’s a really special time of year🌙
