The King Cruiser Wreck area covers an Andaman Sea cluster of sites accessed by day boat from Phuket, spanning a wreck, submerged pinnacles, and reef structures. The centrepiece is the King Cruiser, a former car ferry that sank in the late nineties and now rests at up to thirty-three metres, recommended for advanced divers only due to depth, strong currents, and overhead environments. Nearby Shark Point and Anemone Reef are submerged pinnacles draped in soft corals, sea fans, and barrel sponges. Recorded species across the cluster include blacktip reef sharks, whale sharks, harlequin shrimp, pharaoh cuttlefish, sea kraits, clearfin lionfish, and porcupinefish. Visibility across sites is variable.

Water temperature climbs to its highest in late spring and remains warm through the wetter months. Visibility on the wreck is notably variable and can drop significantly, while the surrounding pinnacles tend to offer more consistent conditions.
