Police call off search for two Dutch divers missing in Scapa Flow The search for two divers missing in Scapa Flow has been called off. The men failed to return to their boat from a dive around the SMS Brummer in the area off the Orkney islands at around 4.50pm on Tuesday. Searches have been carried out since they disappeared but there has been no sign of the divers, thought to be from Holland. On Monday, Police Scotland said there would be no more searches carried out. A spokesman said: "Police in Orkney can confirm that there is no sign of the two missing divers following the conclusion of extensive searches in the Scapa Flow area of Orkney. The two divers, who are not believed to be from the area, were reported missing on 28 May 2013 during a dive around the SMS Brummer in Scapa Flow, Orkney. Extensive searches by the Police Scotland Dive and Marine Unit from Aberdeen along with a Remotly Operated Vehicle (ROV) have taken place and were concluded over the weekend. There are no further searches planned. Scapa Flow was used as a Royal Navy base in both world wars and is now popular with divers because of the many relics from British and German naval history lying on the seabed.
