About Deep Slope
Deep Slope is a Malapascua boat dive that starts on a sandy rubble plateau and rolls into a small wall with soft corals and dense macro life. It is best treated as an operator-run dive rather than a casual beach entry, with a mooring-line reference, meaningful depth, and a site that rewards patient buoyancy and a careful read on visibility and current windows.

Deep Slope Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
12m - 30m
Depth Note
Public listings place the site around 12-30 m, with one guide describing a sandy slope to 26 m and a soft- and hard-coral end between 12 m and 20 m.
Best Season
January to May for the clearest water; the rest of the year is diveable, but the rainy season is less reliable.
Typical Conditions
A sandy-rubble slope that becomes a small wall, with soft corals, a mooring-line reference, and conditions that reward careful trim and depth control.
Safety & Access At Deep Slope
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Boat traffic
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight over the sand and rubble, follow the mooring line or guide, and use Nitrox if you want more time on the deeper sections.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only via Malapascua dive operators; treat it as a guided dive rather than a casual shore entry.
Legal Notes
Follow your operator's dive procedures and any island or marine-area rules in force for boat dives around Malapascua.
Local Intel For Deep Slope
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boat dives here usually spend time around the 23 m sandy-rubble section, and Nitrox helps if you want longer bottom time on the macro stretches.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target; the interesting parts of the site sit in scuba depths and reward longer bottom time.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the best terrain and life sit too deep for casual surface viewing.
