The latest episode of The BiG Scuba Podcast will be surfacing soon. We chat to Emily Turton. She is a dive boat skipper in Scapa. She holds an MCA Masters ticket for vessels

Emily lectures in Maritime Studies for the University of Highlands and Islands of Orkney and has guided many other local skippers through their MCA Masters Orals exams. She is also an RYA Instructor delivering theory and radar courses in Orkney and practical courses through the Sports Scotland National Waters Sports Centre in Cumbrae.

Emily's knowledge of the wrecks in Scapa is unsurpassed. She is a CCR trimix diver and when not looking after divers is never happier than when she is underwater herself.
