On the 4th of May 1997 the 85
m long and 25 m wide ferry collided with a reef on its way from Phuket
to the Phi Phi Islands. As the ferry sank, appr. 2,5 hour later all
600 passengers had been brought into safety. The bottom of the wreck
lies at 32 m but the ferry's deck can already be visited at a depth of
12 m. Due to the safe recovery of the ferry's crew and passengers
diving at the wreck has already been permitted.
Ideal for Nitrox

Anemone
reef is only 1,5 hours cruising time from Phuket. The reef starts at 5
m below sea level and is completely covered with anemones and soft
corals. A large abundance of fish can be found here too, including
leopard sharks, large schools of barracuda, morays, tuna fish and
small nurse sharks. Whale sharks can also be encountered here.

about 500 m away from Anemone Reef, Shark Point is the first reef in
Phuket to be put under nature conservation. Shark Point consists of a
row of 3 reefs and acquired its name from the docile leopard sharks,
