A passenger ferry that sunk in 1997 on it's way to Phi Phi from Phuket. Now it serves as a base for a new coral reef where divers can experience the thrill of wreck diving. Divers will need to have the Advanced Open Water course certification or be working towards it, i.e. completing the knowledge reviews and instruction as per the PADI Wreck Adventures in diving outline. For serious wreck diving enthusiasts, please consider our PADI Wreck diving speciality course on the specialities section.

DIVE 2: Anenome Reef
 
|
This unique dive-site is a huge lime-stone pinnacle that sours 30 metres up from the ocean floor to sit 4 meters beneath the surface where it abruptly end and drops back to a sandy bottom. The barely submerged reef is a well-known shipping hazard (see King Cruiser Wreck!) and is located less than a mile north of Shark Point.
The Thai name for this site is Hin Jom which means underwater rock and although not as colourful as Shark Point, the site is famous for its vast fields of sea anemones that cling to every conceivable surface and swing and sway with the current. |

DIVE 3: Shark Point Phuket
|
Shark Point Phuket is a marine sanctuary that derives its name from the Leopard Sharks that are encountered resting on the sandy bottom on virtually every dive.
The reef comprises three pinnacles, the largest breaking the surface and appearing as a barren rock outcropping. Beneath the surface it’s a different story as this amazingly multicoloured reef offers the diver vast schools of tropical fish, colourful soft corals and vibrant sea fans that decorate the limestone pinnacles. Currents can be brisk at this site but they tend to run parallel to the reef sections and allow for an excellent drift dive back to the boat.
To protect Shark Point’s fragile ecosystem the Thai government declared this site a marine sanctuary in 1992 and as such have preserved it for one and all. All forms of commercial fishing, marine life collection or other harmful activity (spear fishing) are now prohibited. Long live the King! |
