Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - Kingcruiser Wreck offers some of Similan Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
The Kingcruiser Wreck sits upright, pretty much intact, not far from Anemone Reef. We usually start our dive midship, dropping down to the car deck where light still filters through. The stern is always a good spot for finding schools of yellow snapper darting through the old passenger cabins. Inside, the wreck feels cavernous, but you can still make out stairwells and the odd old toilet. Watch for lionfish hovering in doorways and barracuda patrolling the perimeter, especially around the bow. It’s a good wreck for those who appreciate exploring large structures, rather than tiny nooks.
