An ok alternative if the currents are too strong on the nearby stonehenge. A sloping reef with hard corals and anemones.
This site is a submerged plateau with jagged granite rocks rising up out of it. The top of the larger pinnacles and the shallower areas of the plateau are covered in brilliantly colored soft corals. The reef is very healthy with big table corals, barrel sponges, gorgonian sea fans and various species of anemone. This all attracts a huge variety of fish life from; frogfish, ornate ghost pipefish, seahorses and nudibranchs to lionfish, batfish, huge moray eels and schools of pelagics such as barracudas and trevallies. Its also one of the more likely spots around Koh Lipe to encounter leopard sharks or even a whale shark! The site is exposed to currents so can't be dived every day and usually only at slack tide. There's a bouy marking the top of the tallest pinnacle at the sites south end. Its about 500m south of Koh Talang.
