Dive-site story
Sapi Slope runs along the sheltered flank of Pulau Sapi within Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. The reef starts in shallow water over dense staghorn and table coral formations before easing into an expansive sandy gradient littered with coral bommies and rubble patches. Divers drifting down the incline find an array of macro critters hiding among the substrate, while schools of damselfish and fusiliers flit above the upper reef crest.
