Lunch can also be provided aboard priced at £7.50 per person per day. The food they supply is fast gaining the reputation as the best in Scapa, a typical lunch would be lasagne followed by apple pie and custard. Fresh local produce is used and the home baking is fantastic! Pre-booking is essential and special dietary requirements can be catered for.

Boat Info
The MV Radiant Queen is a 52 feet day boat. They offer the same diving packages as the liveaboard boats but with Radiant Queen Charters you have the best of both worlds. A large and comfortable house to relax in rather than a pokey cabin
and aboard the boat all of the space is geared up for diving. As such they have a spacious and large saloon above decks
with ample room for 12 to sit comfortably. Below decks they have a big heated dry changing room with large individual lockers, a spotless toilet and a wet changing room and kit store.
Access to downstairs is via a hatch inside the saloon to the dry room or from a separate hatch from the wet room to the dive deck. This allows you to go downstairs in the dry get changed into suits and come up outside - fab! The boat is well maintained, comfortable and very clean.
Radiant Queen has bench seating, plenty of room for 12 twinsets/ rebreathers and tanks are filled where you sit so no lugging of equipment. The compressor is an 18cfm Bauer with all the necessary filters for O2 clean bottles.

The MV Radiant Queen is Rebreather friendly with a gas booster for your high pressure O2 fills. Of course all emergency safety equipment is carried as standard including O2 kits.
