About this site
Sandy Slope lies along Bali's coast near Tulamben in the island's northeast, a stretch of coastline known for sloping black sand shorelines dropping into the Bali Sea. Diving here is typically organized from the small coastal villages that line this part of the island. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 40 metres over a sand bottom and is rated an intermediate dive. Nudibranchs are a reliable find on the slope, and divers have also reported angelfish, barracuda, batfish, clownfish, frogfish, harlequin shrimp, pygmy seahorses, rhinopias, seahorses, and stonefish here, making it a spot favored for muck-style critter hunting.
