On the 4th of May 1997 the 85 meter passenger ferry 'King
Cruiser' on a routine run to the Phi-Phi Islands made history
by straying several kilometres off course and hitting the
Anemone Reef.
With a huge hole ripped through her belly the ship went
down in less than an hour and provided the Phuket Diving
community, at long last, with her own artificial reef.
At 25 meters you'll find the engine room and car deck.
Moving up to 18 meters you'll find the passenger section
which has the heads, bar and lots of tables and chairs.
Even though the ceiling is pretty low it is relatively safe
to penetrate as the doors are broken off.
At 15 meters you'll find the captain's cabin and wheel house.
The reef is teeming with life and its proximity to Shark
Point and Anemone Reef has undoubtedly had a lot to do with
it's rapid population growth. The Wreck is an extremely
popular dive and considered one of the best in location.
