King Cruiser Wreck, On May 4, 1997 the King Cruiser (an 85m. steel-hulled, catamaran-style passenger ferry) stuck the well-charted shoal Anemone Reef while running its regular route from Phuket to Phi Phi.
What was a disastrous event from a navigational standpoint turned out to be a blessing for the dive community. Nowadays King Cruiser become home to many marine lives, as schools of jacks and queen fish gathered to pursue the clouds of baitfish sheltering around the wreck. Reef species like cardinal fish, snappers, lionfish and scorpion fish moved in. Even frog fish have been seen here. Dense schools of barracuda have also taken up residence which makes King Cruiser a very interesting dive sites.
Shark Point: Home to an incredible profusion of marine life, Shark Point easily ranks among the richest marine habitats in the Phuket region. Nearly every square inch of this site is inhabited, providing a density and diversity of reef creatures that seldom seen. Among Shark Point’s biggest attractions are the shy, amiable leopard sharks that the site was named for, often seen resting along known as zebra sharks, these animals are far from the stereotypical image that most people have of sharks, as they pose absolutely no threat to humans.
Koh Dok Mai: Even miles away, Koh Dok Mai (which means “Island of flowers” in Thai) is an imposing sight, as the steep cliffs of this small island tower far above sea. Underwater, the scenery can be equally impressive, with dramatic topography and abundant marine life as well as two large caverns and several smaller crevices punctuate the wall on to island’s east side, is worth having a look at sponge and shellfish covered walls and ceiling of the largest cave. Marine life here is varied and healthy, including a wide range of invertebrates like golden wentletrap snails, zig zag oyster, barrel sponges, black corals, nudibranchs sea whips, gorgonians and various hard corals.
