Underwater at King Cruiser Wreck

King Cruiser Wreck

Phuket · Thailand

A 75 m car ferry that struck Anemone Reef and sank in 1997 sits upright on a sandy bottom at 30 m, its car decks colonised by lionfish, giant grouper, and enormous schools of glassfish that pulse like a living curtain when a trevally darts through. The upper superstructure starts at 17 m and is penetrable for divers with overhead-environment training.
