About this site
Deep Slope sits off Cebu in the Philippines, on a sand bottom that reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres. It is rated an advanced dive given that depth and profile. Divers here commonly encounter cuttlefish, frogfish, garden eels, nudibranchs, and pygmy seahorses, all regularly reported along the slope. Divers have also reported blue-ringed octopus, ghost pipefish, ornate ghost pipefish, mantis shrimp, pipefish, seahorses, and sea turtles at the site, making it a favorite for muck-style macro hunting rather than big pelagic action.
