Thailand Divers-Phuket., Thailand

The King Cruiserwas carrying holiday passengers from Phuket to Phi Phi islands when she sank on the 4th May 1997. Fortunately, there was no loss of life. This is more of an advanced dive due to the depth and the often strong currents. The propellers rest at 30 metres depths. The most interesting part of the wreck is areas around the passenger decks between 18 and 24 metres. Over the last couple of years the wreck has started to break up and penetration is not recommended anymore. However, the King Cruiser Wreck is still a quite dramatic dive, especially if you haven't dived a wreck before.
