 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.
