King Cruiser Wreck

Dive Location: 1 km southeast of Anemone Reef.
Depth: Average 20m / Maximum 32m

In 1997 the King Cruiser, a car ferry operating between Phuket and Koh Phi Phi, bottomed on Anemone Reef, splitting it in two. The impact also tore a large hole in the vessel’s hull.The sunken vessel attracts a high diversity of marine life; invertebrates have taken up residence and juvenile reef fish hover around the now barnacle-encrusted frame. Daylight penetrates the majority of the wreck, though there are some areas that can only be explored with an artificial light source. Beware that quite a few areas have collapsed ceilings – these should not be entered at all.
