About this site
The Slope is a reef dive off Havelock Island in the Andamans. It starts at 5 metres and runs down to 20 metres and more, leading on to the neighbouring Wall.
Rock mounds carry a variety of coral, and cleaner wrasse and shrimp wait to clean the fish that visit. A field of sea whips gives the dive a cinematic feel. The site is a beginner dive, and divers have also reported barracuda, tuna and manta rays.
