King Cruiser wreck

King Cruiser Wreck

King Cruiser wreck lies between Phuket and Koh Phi Phi. Normally we dive this site and also Anemone Reef and Shark Point Phuket

On the 4th of May 1997, the passenger ferry "King Cruiser" sank after hitting Anemone Reef on its journey between Phi Phi and Phuket. The Wreck now lies at 30 metres, about 1 km from Anemone Reef. It is a nice wreck to dive on, even though there has been some damage in the strong currents and storms during the monsoon season.

This dive site is only suitable for Advanced Open Water divers, or Open Water divers with 20 or more dives. It is possible to complete your Wreck or Deep Adventure Dive as part of your Advanced Course on this dive site. The fish life is amazing around the Wreck. You will find many Scorpionfish, Lionfish and Stonefish camouflaging themselves all over the encrusted parts of the ship.

Anemone Reef

Clownfish

As you would expect from its name, Anemone Reef is home to hundreds upon hundreds of anemones, and their many resident anemone fish. The scenery and underwater rock formations are beautiful, and the diversity of both soft and hard corals is breathtaking. Everything on this reef is very densely packed. It is a haven for underwater Photographers. There is a good chance of seeing Leopard Sharks, Moray Eels, Travellies, Barracuda, Batfish and Scorpionfish!

How about doing your Shark AWAREness Distinct Speciality Diver Course on Anemone Reef and Shark Point or the Padi Underwater Naturalist (corals & fish) Speciality Diver Course ?

Phuket Shark Point

This dive location has one large point protruding from the water, but under water there are actually two different rock formations with very nice pink and lilac soft corals thriving on them. As the name implies, Leopard Sharks can often be seen around here. You have a good chance to see free swimming Moray Eels and plenty of Lionfish. The very shallowest sections of the reef provide an excellent vantage point to watch the many fish hiding away from the current. As this dive site is quite exposed, we prefer to plan this trip when there is little or no current.
