About this site

Sandy Slope is a dive site on the north side of Menjangan Island, off northwest Bali, next to Dream Wall. Huge gorgonians punctuate the reef and walls, and it is one of the best sites on the island for pygmy seahorses.

Bargibanti pygmy seahorses are seen at depths between 15 and 40 metres here, so a sighting is possible whatever your level. The maximum depth is 40 metres, with no current, and the site suits beginners.
