Why dive here
With 515+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks, giant moray eels and manta rays - Sandy Slope offers some of Bali's richest muck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, November.
Don't let the name fool you, Sandy Slope is prime muck diving territory in Bali. You'll spend your dive scouring the sand and mud for critters like frogfish, nudibranchs, and pipefish – it’s a slow, deliberate hunt. We think it’s a perfect spot for macro photographers or divers who appreciate the smaller, stranger creatures. It’s not about big schools of fish here, it’s about patience and a keen eye.
