Stonehenge is a boat-accessed Koh Lipe pinnacle and coral-garden dive in Tarutao National Marine Park. Upright granite boulders, shallow rock slabs, and a deeper slope create exposed current faces, sheltered pockets, and plenty of structure for wide-angle and macro diving. Most trips are guided day runs from Koh Lipe, and the site rewards divers who can plan around tide windows and move with the current.
