diving....King Cruiser
On the 4th of May 1997 the 85 m long and 25 m

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.
