Visibility at Memperak Slope tends to be at its best in the morning before any boat traffic stirs up the water, so aim for an early departure. Keep your buoyancy in check as you move along the slope, since the reef has sharp coral and rocks closer to the surface that are easy to brush against if you drift.
