The HMS Pylades was one of the British naval ships used to guard the scuttled German fleet at Scapa Flow. It's now a shallow and very easy wreck dive, perfect for a check-out dive or for less experienced divers.
Features
A shallow WWI-era sloop. The wreck is very broken up but is in a sheltered location, making it an ideal site for a first dive in Scapa Flow or for training purposes. It is covered in kelp and small invertebrates.
