Stonehenge lies north of Koh Miang, Similan Island 4. Its name suits the scenery: large rock formations create a substantial underwater landscape, with coral and sea fans adding detail between the stone. Depth and current are central to choosing this dive.

How Divezone ratings work

The headline is the average of the overall scores in published, top-level reviews for Stonehenge. Each of the four criteria has its own average and response count; unanswered or inapplicable criteria are excluded. Replies and older stories without structured scores do not enter the averages.

These are readers’ self-declared experiences, not independently verified dives or safety inspections. A small sample and changing conditions matter. The separate visitor poll is not mixed into this community rating.

The separate visitor poll

The original visitor-voting control appears in the page heading.

This quick poll is separate from rated written reviews.

Rocks with a sense of scale

Sanook Scuba describes towering formations rising from around 25 metres and deeper, with soft coral and gorgonian sea fans in the spaces between them. Its broader site profile spans 10–40 metres. The difference matters: the presence of a shallower section does not make every part of the rocky site a shallow dive.

Life around the formations

The same operator describes barrel sponges, lionfish and scorpionfish around the rocks, with angelfish and butterflyfish over the reef. Barracuda, dogtooth tuna and bluefin trevally are among its reported passing fish. The attraction is a combination of large scenery and closer subjects, rather than a guaranteed shark encounter.

Experience and the day’s conditions

Current can be strong. Deeper terrain reduces the scope for a long, unhurried visit, so the actual profile needs to suit the group’s training and recent experience. A site description is useful for choosing the trip; the local briefing determines the dive itself.

A named stop on the programme

Visit Similan Islands lists Stonehenge with West of Eden on its Thursday day-trip programme for the 2026–27 season. This is an example of a scheduled visit, subject to weather and operating decisions. A general Similan booking does not necessarily include the same stops.

For companions

A boat trip to a deeper rocky dive site does not establish a snorkelling programme. Passenger fares, supervised activities and any island stop need to be included in the chosen offer.

Questions about Stonehenge

Is Stonehenge a shallow dive?

Some published profiles include shallower terrain, but much of its rocky character lies deeper. The actual dive profile is more useful than the minimum depth alone.

Are currents always strong?

No, but strong current is a documented possibility. The boat assesses conditions before choosing the dive.

Does a day trip visit Stonehenge?

Some advertised day-trip schedules include it. The actual date and final site choice depend on the operator and conditions.

Is this the Stonehenge near Koh Lipe?

No. This page concerns Stonehenge in the Similan Islands, north of Koh Miang, Island 4.

Updated 13 November 2026. Sources: Site description; 2026–27 day-trip schedule.

Stonehenge is classified as a Deep dive. This location is a Reef. This is great place for spotting and diving with Sharks!

Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here is October to November. Access: Boat. See the map of Stonehenge on the right for the exact location.
