Diving Phuket Sites – King Cruiser Wreck

King Cruiser wreck is about 32km east of Phuket and very close to Shark Point & Anemone Reef.  In 1997 this 85-metre long passenger ferry was on a routine trip to Phi-Phi Islands and strayed off course and hit Anemone Reef. This ripped a hole in the bottom of the boat and it sank. It has now become one of the most popular, and best diving Phuket sites and is home to masses of fish.  Please note that this is a deep dive site, with the bottom of the wreck sitting at 32 metres, making it a great place to do your Advanced Open Water course!
