I joined in Sepetiba Bay and left in Japan (Nagasaki?). On my last watch I found seawater pouring into a ballast tank through the hull. I reported it and went home to do my Mate's ticket. Perfect end to a perfect trip. Currently working with South African divers who may have assisted us in False Bay / Simonstown. I don't suppose anyone can remember anything about the diving company involved in the repairs to the Fore Peak?
