Overview
The Slope is a boat-based scuba diving site on the northwest coast of Havelock Island, near the Havelock Lighthouse and beside The Wall dive site. The site is known for its gently sloping underwater ridges, coral formations, cleaning stations, shrimp, reef fish, and marine life around the submerged lighthouse pillars.
The experience begins with a theory and shallow-water training session covering breathing, equalisation, hand signals, equipment use, and basic safety. After the briefing, take a speedboat ride of around 15 minutes to The Slope.
During the standard dive, you get around 30 minutes underwater with a certified RAID instructor guiding you throughout the experience. Beginners are taken to a maximum depth of 12 metres. The site has a gradual underwater profile, with shallow ridges starting around 4–5 metres and deeper sections extending further for suitable divers.
The Slope is particularly known for macro marine life and cleaning stations. Depending on conditions, you may see different shrimp species, groupers, batfish, barracuda, reef fish, sea stars, mantis shrimp, moray eels, and other marine life. Wildlife sightings are natural and cannot be guaranteed.
The standard package includes GoPro photos and videos. A Pro upgrade is also available from the vendor, providing 45 minutes underwater along with additional photos and videos.
