Unfortunately in chaos that was Scrabster ferry terminal yesterday (Sat 20th August 2011) one of our guy's lost his drysuit and undersuit.
There were several groups loading and unloading kit at the same time so we're hoping that it's either gone back to Stromness and is currently sat on a boat or has been stuck in someones boot when they've been trying to get loaded up for the long trip home.
Its a DUI TLS drysuit and Santi undersuit and was in a Bowstone bag.
The loss has been reported to the ferry company but if you see it please let me know
Many thanks

It was a bit chaotic with those trolleys, wasn't it!! None of our group has mentioned having an extra suit (in fact we ourselves managed to leave one behind on the liveaboard!) but I'll certainly ask around for you.

Hi Jen, thanks for that.
The drysuit hasn't turned up yet so were now left to trying to contact the actual dive boat skippers to see if it's turned up on their boat with this weeks divers.
Could I ask anyone who knows someone diving in Scapa Flow this week to ask them to check their boat for it please otherwise my mate is going to be £1800 poorer
Thanks

I would be inclined to report it to the police as stolen in case you can claim on insurance, if you wait to see if it turns up it might stop you from claiming.

(assuming its insured)

I believe the owner has posted on YD that it's been found.

Yes, good news the drysuit has turned up back in Stromness.....the owner just needs to work out how to get it back now:confused:
