A car ferry that struck Anemone Reef in 1997 and became Phuket's signature wreck. The upper decks have collapsed, so this is a swim-around dive — but the fish life inside the shell is astonishing.

Highlights

  • 85 m car ferry, sunk 1997
  • Schools of snapper inside the hull
  • Wreck + Shark Point + Anemone in one day
