Wreck diving....King Cruiser

King Cruiser - 8,6 K

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

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.
