Amed Pyramids is a visually interesting reef dive located almost straight out from Bali Dive Cove. The site offers a mix of marine life and distinctive underwater features within a compact dive area, making it a memorable dive without needing to go deep or far from shore.
The site takes its name from hollow concrete pyramid structures placed on the seabed by local fishermen in the early 1990s as part of local reef enhancement efforts. Over time, these pyramids have become part of the surrounding reef environment and now support an abundance of marine life across the site.
Amed Pyramids is a rewarding dive because it offers a lot within a single site. The pyramids are spread across the area alongside a natural reef, so there’s something to explore throughout the dive.
There is often a current present here, depending on the tides, which can turn the dive into a gentle drift. This movement brings in marine life and creates changing conditions that make repeat dives feel different each time.
It’s a site we return to often because it consistently delivers variety and interesting encounters.
Marine life is abundant and diverse. Divers regularly encounter:
Hawksbill and green turtles are frequently spotted, and with a bit of luck, you may also see giant barracuda, reef sharks or giant trevally moving through the area.
It’s one of our favourite dive sites for a reason.
“My friend and I did three fun dives and our Advanced Open Water course, and it was absolutely perfect. All the staff were super nice and the divemaster was a really good teacher.
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel every time and also received complimentary GoPro photos and videos.”
“A perfect place. I did my Advanced Open Water course with Wayan, who explained everything perfectly. He answered all my questions in a way that was easy to understand and took all the time needed.
Underwater, he was a great mentor. Everything was easy and professional, both in and out of the water.
After finishing the course, I booked a package of 10 more dives, which was an even better decision. He and the whole team made every dive a great experience.”
“If I could give 6 stars I would! I did my advanced course there with my friends and we were treated like family. The crew is fantastic, professional, patient, flexible and with amazing vibes. Also some of the best prices in Amed.
Wayan, Boyod, Dede, Bayu, Tapik and all the rest — you have my gratitude, it was a real pleasure. If I come back to Amed, I’ll come straight back to you guys!
It is also a family business, which is always great.”
The instructors were great. They were very patient with me as an absolute beginner. The dive was really amazing. Even though the Liberty ship wreck is a famous spot with many divers, it’s also large so it was not crowded at all. The lunch afterwards was very nice as well. The videos and pictures were awesome and well balanced between the corals and the diver. I would definitely recommend diving with these guys and will do so, if I ever visit Bali again.
Wonderful experience with Bali Dive Cove. We did the “discover scuba diving” package with my wife, everything went very smoothly, the staff was very professional and patient. We had so much fun diving in the American ship wreck. Thanks again to the Bali Dive Cove team 🙏
As my first experience I totally recommend this place. The instructor Boyod is the best, for me was my first experience and he guided me through all the steps. He will make you feel so comfortable underwater. If you visit Amed don’t forget to check this place
