Pyramids Dive Site – Amed, Bali

Site Overview

The Pyramids is a unique and popular dive site in Amed that features a series of concrete pyramid-shaped artificial reef structures placed on a natural coral slope to enhance marine habitat and provide an interesting underwater landscape for divers. Over the years since their installation, these structures have been completely colonized by hard and soft corals, transforming them into thriving artificial reefs that attract a dense community of reef fish and macro life. The site's name comes from the distinctive geometric shapes of the structures, which create an otherworldly underwater landscape that is both photogenic and biologically productive. The pyramid structures serve as focal points for marine life, with coral groupers establishing territories around each structure, leaf scorpionfish perching on the edges, and schools of anthias and damselfish swarming in the water column above. The sandy patches between the pyramids are home to blue-spotted stingrays and garden eels, while the deeper sections of the slope host larger reef fish and the occasional passing pelagic. The Pyramids is particularly popular as a training site for new divers, as the shallow depth, calm conditions, and well-defined structures make it easy to practice buoyancy, navigation, and other essential skills in a safe and visually stimulating environment.
