Kalpitty Slope

This dive site, Kalpitty Slope, is a vibrant reef system located off the coast of Kalpeni Island in Lakshadweep, India. Divers begin their exploration in the shallows at approximately 8 meters, gradually descending along a healthy, sloping reef that extends down to a maximum depth of 20 meters, where it transitions into a sandy patch. The gentle gradient of the slope makes it an ideal spot for divers of all levels to explore at their own pace, following the reef structure as it gradually deepens. Kalpitty Slope boasts a rich diversity of marine life, earning its reputation as one of the healthier reefs in the region. Divers can expect to encounter an abundance of colorful reef fish, including Sweetlips, Surgeonfish, Triggerfish, and schooling Fusiliers and Snappers. Larger inhabitants such as Napoleon Wrasse, Trevallys, and occasional Sting Rays are also part of this thriving ecosystem, making for a lively underwater spectacle among the coral. The site's gradual depth profile and healthy reef make it suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers looking to explore a thriving ecosystem. While specific seasonal highlights aren't provided, the consistent tropical climate of Lakshadweep generally offers good diving conditions for much of the year. Divers should focus on appreciating the density of reef fish and the overall health of the coral structures, which are key highlights of Kalpitty Slope.
