The King Cruiser Wreck Is Phuket’s First And Still Number One Wreck Dive
The King Cruiser Wreck’s unplanned underwater life began in May 1997. The adventurous captain of the King Cruiser car ferry strayed miles off course on his way to Phi Phi from Phuket. With an incredible feat of marine navigation he ‘found’ the only submerged reef for miles around. Unfortunately the intrepid captain’s wanderlust resulted in a large hole in the ferry and the inevitable consequences. So was created Phuket’s first wreck dive. Fortunately no lives were lost, all 500+ passengers were quickly rescued by the Thai navy and some passing fishing boats.
Hypotheses abound to how this ‘accident’ came to pass. These include insurance fraud due to the owners financial difficulties, alcohol and even that the local dive operators clubbed together and paid the captain to hit Anemone Reef and create the much needed wreck dive. The latter is highly unlikely, this would have to involve a)The company owners talking to each other and b)Putting their hands in their pockets, an unlikely combination to say the least. The captain was eventually found to be negligent by the courts. A bit harsh, I don’t think you should be penalised for having an adventurous spirit..
The King Cruiser Wreck Dive
The shallowest part of the wreck is at 18m and the deepest just over 30m so you definitely need to be at least Advanced Open Water certified or equivalent and nitrox is highly recommended. Strong current and limited visibility can sometimes make the dive quite tough. Usually it’s the first dive of the day to try and maximise your time on this 85m long and 25m wide wreck.
