About Three Pyramids - Lady Elliot Island
Three Pyramids is Lady Elliot's west-side bommie cluster, where three coral heads, sand patches, and a permanent mooring make for a slow boat dive with drift potential when current lines up. It suits divers who like working the bommies for macro detail and then following the current to the next stretch of reef. Calm winter windows keep the reef heads reading cleanly.

Local Intel For Three Pyramids - Lady Elliot Island
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A moored boat dive with an easy descent to the first bommie and a possible drift to neighboring sites if the current is running.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the 18m bommie profile is better suited to scuba or guided snorkel than a casual swim.
Snorkeling
The island's snorkelling trail map includes Three Pyramids, but the best experience is still the boat-access bommies rather than a casual shore entry.
