King Cruiser - Shark Point - Anemone Reef 3 dives

Shark Point Phuket, a small rock outcropping about 1 hour northwest Phi Phi Island, is a famous marine sanctuary that was established in 1991. The variety of marine life is tremendous. Specific attractions include the colourful soft corals and sea fans decorating the limestone pinnacles, the great range of tropical fish and the famous Leopard Sharks.

Anemone Reef is also part of the marine sanctuary. This submerged reef located only a few hundred meters far from Shark Point has it's own character. The whole reef is covered with an extensive field of sea anemones. Besides the Leopard Sharks there are also some massive schools of smaller fish and some larger pelagic such as Tuna and Barracuda to be found.

King Cruiser, a 85m catamaran passenger ferry with a car deck, strayed off course on the 4th of May 1997 and hit one of the pinnacles of Anemone Reef ripping one of her twin hulls open. Subsequently, King Cruiser sunk within an hour with no loss of life. With it's multiple decks, open passenger compartments and bridge all accessible at depths between 12 and 30 meters, the King Cruiser is an ideal Wreck Dive Site for all divers. After resting on the sea floor for four years, shells, anemones and soft corals are beginning to slowly encase the Wreck and it has become home to an amazing amount of schooling fishes and Giant Lionfish.
