Artificial Reef Structure: The Pyramids of Amed
The "Pyramids" owe their name to a series of about 20 artificial, pyramid-shaped concrete structures that were submerged in the 90s. Today, these structures are completely overgrown with coral and form a vibrant ecosystem on the sandy slope.
The Pyramids: These hollow structures serve as a hiding spot for countless creatures. Inside and on the walls, you will often find giant moray eels, lionfish, leaf fish, and various species of shrimp.
Turtles: Pyramids is considered one of the best spots in Amed with a high probability of encountering Green Sea Turtles or Hawksbill Turtles.
Big Fish & Macro: While you often see blue-spotted stingrays and garden eels in the sand, blacktip reef sharks or schools of barracudas occasionally patrol the deeper areas. With a bit of luck, macro fans can discover pygmy seahorses within the sea fans.
Coral Garden: In the shallower area (5–12 m), a colorful coral garden awaits you, which is also ideal for safety stops or snorkeling.
