Mild currents, 10 – 20 meters visibility, suitable for supervised beginners to advanced divers. History: On the 4th of May 1997 the 85 meter passenger ferry ‘king cruiser’ on a routine run to Phi Phi islands made history by straying several kilometres off course and hitting anemone reef.
With a huge hole ripped through her belly the ship went down in less than an hour and provided the Phuket diving community, at long last, with her own artificial reef.
At 25 meters you will find the engine room and car deck. Moving up to 18 meters you’ll find the passenger section, which has the heads, bar and a lot of tables and chairs.
At 15 meters you’ll find the captains cabin and wheelhouse. The reef is teaming with life and its proximity to shark point and anemone reef has undoubtedly had a lot to do with its rapid population growth. The wreck is an extremely popular dive and considered one of the best in location. More photos of king cruiser:
