Popular dive site on the west coast of Thailand between Phuket and Phi Phi Islands. Passenger/Car ferry that sunk in May 1997 after colliding with the submerged pinnacle Anemone reef. The ship is 85m long and 25m wide and consisted of several decks that are partly collapsed due to the fact that the ship was already quiet old when it sank, the divers entering the structure leaving bubbles inside and the sea taking its tribute. The wreck is standing on the sandy bottom at 30m with its shallowest point at around 15m. Loads of swim throughs. The upper part is increasingly covered with small staghorn corals, tree soft coral and sea urchins. Sea slugs, scorpion fish and lion fish are using the wreck as home as well as moray eels, sea snakes and Hawksbill turtles. Big schools of pelagics like trevallies, barracudas and rainbow runners. Visibility and currents can be challenging.
