Dive-site story
Set along the black volcanic sand slope off Amed, this dive centers on dozens of hollow concrete pyramid structures deployed to encourage coral growth. Soft corals, gorgonian fans, and feather stars have completely encrusted the blocks over time, transforming the artificial modules into self-contained micro-ecosystems. Divers typically drift gently with the prevailing coastal current past the pyramids before exploring the adjoining natural slope.
Series of concrete pyramid artificial reefs covered in soft corals and sponges
Macro haven housing pygmy seahorses, ribbon eels, and leaf scorpionfish
