King Cruiser Day Trip

服務說明

For the more experienced diver looking for deeper depths, the King Cruiser day trip would be perfect for you. Our day trip consists of 3 dives, King Cruiser, Shark Point, and Koh Doc Mai. Due to their location and varying conditions, these dives can pose a bit of a challenge for some, but with the help of our experienced guides, they can be quite rewarding. To ensure enjoyment, if it has been some time since your last dive, we recommend you consider taking a refresher course or even booking one of our easier dive sites before jumping straight into the King Cruiser day trip. King Cruiser: MS King Cruiser was a car ferry that sank off the Western Coast of southern Thailand on May 4, 1997. The vessel hit a submerged collection of rocky pinnacles at an Anemone Reef where it is now located about 27 km east of Phuket, sitting upright on the seabed at a depth of 32 m and rising to 20 m at its shallowest. Now considered one of the best wreck dives in the area, the wreck is home to an abundance of tropical fish, soft corals, lionfish, scorpionfish, and nudibranchs. Shark Point: Originally named for the frequent sightings of leopard sharks, Shark Point is an Anemone Reef located about 28km east of Phuket. The dive site includes several underwater pinnacles where most dives start near the first pinnacle. You can start the dive by doing a free descent down to a maximum depth of around 24m. There you will be greeted by an abundance of colorful anemones, fan Corals, barrel sponges, home to cuttlefish, blue spotted rays, eels, and of course the potential shark sightings. Strong currents and choppy surface conditions can make it challenging for newer divers, but with help from our guides, you can find it quite rewarding. Koh Doc Mai: Also meaning (Flower Island) is a small yet beautiful island located about an hour and 15 minutes from Chalong Pier. Known for its wall-diving, it offers some of the best Macro marine life in the area. At 13m and 18m, you will find two small caverns that offe the opportunity for seeing shrimp, eels, and a variety of nudibranchs. At a depth of around 22m, the wall will begin to bottom out where you can often find bamboo sharks. Although this dive site can be affected by strong currents and poor visibility at times, on a good day this can be one of the prettiest dive sites in the area.
