tuna, barracudas, manta rays and reef sharks.

(26-29 feet). There are some fabulous drop offs here going to
as deep as 70 metres (230feet).

on it's way to Phi phi Island. This interesting wreck is home
to abundant marine life. The king Cruiser wreck lies at a depth
of about 20-30 metres (65-98 feet).
