King Cruiser wreck, Shark Point and Koh Dok Mai

More diving at Phuket. Three dives. King Cruiser wreck, Shark Point and Koh Dok Mai.

King Cruiser was used between Phuket and Phi Phi Islands as a ferry. It sank 1997 and there was 500 people onboard. Luckily nobody died. Wreck is 85 long and 25m width. Visibility is many times quite poor and there can be strong current. It's anyway very interesting place to dive.
