KING CRUISER WRECK
 The
70 meter steel-hulled King Cruiser passenger ferry sunk during
May of 1997 by hitting Anemone Reef on the way to Phi Phi
Island. This huge catamaran now rests within the Shark Point
Marine Sanctuary in about 30 meters of water on a sandy bottom.
Divers can penetrate into and swim through most of the wreck
if they have the appropriate training, otherwise you must
be content to circumnavigate this magnificent man-made reef,
which is now attracting a huge amount of marine life. This
dive is for experienced divers only.
