Stonehenge

★★★★★ (132)

The Stonehenge reef complex is a large area with varied topography, biodiversity and depth variation. There are plenty of shallow areas suitable for entry level divers, and several pinnacles and small walls suitable for more qualified divers. Maximum depth is over 30m although some parts are at the surface.

Big boulders and rock outcrops over an extensive area. High relief in deeper areas with swim-throughs, gullies, holes and overhangs home to many species of coral and fish life.
