Similan Islands Diving

Stonehenge

This site on the northern side of the island features large towering rocks at depths greater than 25 m. The large alleys the rocks form, host gorgonian sea fans, barrel sponges, common lionfish and bearded scorpionfish.

The area is frequented by barracuda, tuna, trevally as well as home to long-nose butterflyfish, yellowtail wrasse, angelfish and yellow or black and red ornate ghost pipefish, swaying motionless in the branches of the orange sea fans. Clownfish and anemonefish busy themselves restlessly in the tentacles of their host anemones.
