Dive Phuket - Thailand Wreck - Dive King Cruiser Wreck

King Cruiser was built in Japan some 30 years ago and in 1997 she was operating as a passenger ferry between Phuket and Phi-Phi Islands.

One 14th May, a calm sunny day, she mysteriously sailed into Anemone Reef. All passengers disembarked safely before she sank and came to rest upright on her twin catamaran hulls.

At 85m in length, King Cruiser is a large wreck as she had previously been a car ferry, and now she is a wonderful artificial reef offering best scuba diving Thailand wreck diving, and with each passing year more and more different varieties of marine life make the King Cruiser wreck their home. The King Cruiser wreck lies on the seabed at 31m, yet the top is just 14m deep, so the King Cruiser wreck caters for all levels of diver.
