On the 4th May 1997 the catamaran passenger ferry, the King Cruiser sank after straying off course and hitting Anemone Reef. The ferry donated itself as the areas first artificial reef. All passengers and crew were rescued by the local fishing boats. The ferry is 85meters long and sits upright in water 30 meters deep. A great variety of species are now making the ferry their home. Mussels, barnacles and corals first covered the ferry. Schools of baby barracudas and snappers circle outside, whilst lionfish and scorpion fish nestle on the inner parts of the structure.
