About Pyramid
Pyramid is a boat-accessed Mafia Island dive site in Chole Bay with coral bommies, a distinct pyramid formation, and a shallow bank reef finish. The route is short and easy to follow, which makes it a strong macro dive for relaxed bottom time and photography. Bay currents and tides matter more than raw depth, so the best run depends on the day you choose. Resident moray eels, nudibranchs, shrimps, crabs, and small schools of fish make the site feel busy without being deep.
