I've dived the "Satara" 2 times:

3 Dec 1988 | Satara | Seal Rocks | Forster | Australia | 43 | 15 | 33 | Iain Hosking, Sarah McCracken | The wreck is fairly intact, and dotted with Devonshire cup coral. The phosphor-bronze prop is particularly attractive. Visibility was good, and the fish life prolific. Very relaxed and enjoyable dive (helped by taking a seasickness tablet beforehand). The stops appear to be Rory's special stops - certainly not the ones from the US Navy tables. | own tank, filled to 230 bar. | |||

21 Dec 1990 | Satara | Seal Rocks | Forster | Australia | 45 | 19 | 19 | Iain Hosking, Cathy Humphries | All psyched up (and kitted up) for a dive on the 'Satara' but Ari couldn't find it! Anticipation turned to disappointment, frustration, then exasperation, and we voted to dive on the approximate transits. We found a dogfish. Others found a lump of coal. |
