Stonehenge at the most northern tip of Koh Miang (island no 4) and Ko Payu (island no 7) is one of the deeper dives of the Similans. Their features are huge towering rocks creating brilliant alleyways with large gorgonians and sponges between them. The site sits right in the pass, which creates a strong current attracting many pelagic species. Barracuda, tuna and trevally are very common here. Other sights are its tropical fish life, reef fish, huge barrel sponges and boulders in such formation that have given the dive site its name.
