Kalpitty Slope
Why dive here
With 364+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, dugongs, eagle rays and giant moray eels - Kalpitty Slope offers some of Lakshadweep's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Kalpitty Slope is a gentle drift in the Lakshadweep archipelago, ideal for newer divers getting comfortable with currents. The slope itself is soft coral, home to smaller reef fish darting between the polyps. We often spot groups of parrotfish grazing the algae here. It's a relaxed dive, good for a first or second trip out.
