Why dive here
With 199+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins, dugongs and great white sharks - SS Satara offers some of Sydney & New South Wales's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 18-23°C, warmest January, February, March.
The SS Satara, lying just offshore from Sydney, is a decent dive if you’re looking for a wreck that’s been thoroughly embraced by the local marine life. We’ve found her to be quite broken up, but that just means more nooks and crannies for the resident wobbegongs and the occasional sleepy Port Jackson shark to settle into. Schools of yellowtail scad often swirl around the larger sections, and the rusted metalwork provides plenty of shelter for smaller reef fish. It’s a good choice for divers who appreciate the skeletal beauty of a sunken ship and don’t mind getting up close to some impressive critters.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
