King Cruiser Wreck Dive Site — Thailand

About King Cruiser Wreck

A car ferry that sank in 1997 on the route between Phuket and Koh Phi Phi, now one of Thailand's most accessible wreck dives. The 85-meter vessel rests at 30 meters with the top deck at 12 meters, covered in soft corals, lionfish, and scorpionfish. Large barracuda circle the superstructure, and the hull provides shelter for groupers and moray eels. Safe penetration is possible through several open compartments.
