King Cruiser Wreck.

King cruiser was a car and passenger ferry servicing the Phuket to Phi Phi Island route that sank on May 4th 1997 after hitting a submerged rock known as Anemone Reef on its way to Phi Phi Island. Fortunately, no lives were lost during the incident.

Having fortunately settled in an upright position at the sandy bottom, the wreck stays relatively close to Anemone Reef and Shark Point and is 25 - 27 KM east of Chalong Bay with a north-south orientation.

The depth is around 32 meters at the sand bottom and about 14 - 15 meters on the top of the wreck.

The wreck is 85 meters long by 25 meters wide, with four decks, with large passages, and window holes divers can use to gain easy access to explore the spacious interior.

However, some part of the wreck has noticeably deteriorated, and in mid 2003 the top deck at the stern collapsed into the mid section, so the wreck is now considered unsafe for penetration.

Divers can explore the passenger deck level at a depth of around 18 - 22 meters, while others may be more interested in checking out the remains of the wheel house at the top level.

There is usually at least one buoy tied to the north side of the wreck. The currents are moderate to strong running northeast - south - west direction.

For those interested in shark sightings, a nurse shark is normally near the remains of the propellers, grey bamboo sharks can be seen in the mid section and on the sand around the wreck leopard sharks can be seen.

Anemone Reef.

Located around 25 km to the East of Chalong Bay, Anemone Reef is a submerged pinnacle with its top around 5 meters underwater, giving this divesite its Thai name "Hin Jom". Its English name is similarly straightforward - sea anemones dwel in stunningly dense populations in the shallow areas, presenting an amazing view of the seas own version of a living carpet.

The pinnacle has a north-south orientation, with a small sloped channel close to the south part. The depth ranges from 5-25 meters, and while there is a gentle slope down to the sandy bottom on the east side, it is steeper on the west side.

Because of the quantity, quality and the variety of marine life that lives in the beautiful soft coral and sea fans that cover the pinnacle, Anemone Reef is the choice site for underwater naturalist courses and is no doubt a favourite among underwater photographers as well.

Current: Mild currents running in a north-south direction. The current on the north side will be stronger at low tide, and vice versa.

Anemonefish and clownfish are common, as are big schools of snapper that cloud the pinnacle. Schools of yellowtail barracuda are also often seen circling the rock, together with groupers, oriental sweetlips, juvenile harlequin sweetlips, scorpionfish and soldierfish that flit among corals, cracks and crevices. Leopard sharks, possible escapees from the famous divesites nearby / Shark point, may also swim by from time to time.

Small critters such as tiger-tail seahorses are also found here. At the shallow areas near the mooring line, a couple of ornate ghost pipefish and even an anglerfish have been seen here before.

Koh Doc Mai.

Koh Doc Mai literally means "Flower Island". There are different stories of how the place got its name - some say it is because the island was once full of blossoming flowers, and others claim its name comes from the underwater beauty around its shores.

This little limestone island stretches vertically down 24 - 28 meters, creating a wall all around. Although the west side, with hard corals extending out from 12 - 18 meters, is shallower, the east wall is more popular with divers.

There are many cracks and crevices along the walls at all depths, but the most frequented visit is a big cave located on the east side of the island. A good variety of small creatures make this site a favourite dive site. Tigertail seahorses, ornate ghost pipefish and anglerfish are among the species frequently found along the walls.

The walls are also a paradise for macro photographers, as colourful nudibranch, flatworms, tiny white eyed moray eels and groups of 10 or more dancing shrimp are guaranteed to mae an appearance.

The cost of the day trip is 4,000 Baht fully inclusive.
