Recently it has been shown that fluorescence telescopes with a large field of view can indirectly probe the scale of supersymmetry breaking. Here we show that depending on their ability to fight a large background, multi-Km3 volume neutrino telescopes might independently probe a similar breaking scale region, which lies between \sim 10^5 and \sim 5 x 10^6 GeV. The scenarios we consider have the gravitino as the lightest supersymmetric particle, and the next to lightest (NLSP) is a long lived slepton. Indirect probes complement a proposal that demonstrates that 1 Km3 telescopes can directly probe this breaking scale. A high energy flux of neutrinos might interact in the Earth producing NLSPs which decay into taus. We estimate the rate of taus, taking into account the regeneration process, and the rate of secondary muons, which are produced in tau decays, in multi-km3 detectors.
