On the 4th May 1997 the King Cruiser strayed off course and hit Anemone Reef. The ship sunk in less than one hour with all passengers making it safely off. Years later the King Cruiser wreck provides the Phuket diving community with an easy accessible wreck with a huge amount of marine life to investigate.<\/p>\n Check out huge schools of barakuda and snappers, rare nudibranch\u2019s and huge lion fish. The wreck it self is almost completely covered with pink and yellow soft corals but unfortunately is collapsing each year, making it not safe to go inside.<\/p>\n Nurse sharks can be found underneath the wreckage, and also large porcupine fish and scorpion fish blending into the hul.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|5%||” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”10%|0px||” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/asiascubainstructors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/phuket-diving-king-cruiser-2.jpg” alt=”diving king cruiser wreck” title_text=”phuket-diving-king-cruiser-2″ force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” box_shadow_style=”preset4″ box_shadow_horizontal=”80px” box_shadow_vertical=”80px” box_shadow_spread=”-60px” box_shadow_color=”#CC2936″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/asiascubainstructors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/phuket-diving-king-cruiser-4.jpg” alt=”diving king cruiser wreck” title_text=”phuket-diving-king-cruiser-4″ force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”50px||||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset4″ box_shadow_horizontal=”-10px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(2,46,91,0.2)” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ABOUT PHUKETThe largest island in Thailand\u00a0offers a rich variety of experiences.
