The Phi Phi Islands are rapidly becoming famous for their beauty above
the water, but underwater, the landscape is also just as stunning. As
a diver, you'll find that the spectacular limestone cliffs above the
water become sheer drop-offs below the water line. The craggy coral
encrusted landscape attracts a huge variety of colourful and diverse
marine creatures. Even Whale Sharks have been known to visit!

Close to Shark Point, positioned almost perfectly at a depth between
12 and 30 metres, lies the 3,000 ton King Cruiser. The ship sank in
May 1997 with no loss of life and the subsequent wreck is providing
a new home for a variety of marine creatures. Conveniently resting in
an upright position with the steering house just 10 metres from the
surface and the propellers (deepest point) 30 metres, divers who have
never dived in a wreck before can enjoy the fascination of exploring
this site. More information - Click
