Why dive here
With 66+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles and cuttlefish - Blue Grotto offers some of Budva & Bar's richest cave diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Blue Grotto, tucked into the coastline near Budva, is exactly what it sounds like – a sea cave where the light does something really special. We usually drop in shallow, around 3 meters, and then follow the light as it filters in through the cave’s opening, turning the water an incredible electric blue. The walls are soft with sponges, and we’ve spotted plenty of common brittlestars clinging on. It’s a gentle dive, topping out at 15 meters, perfect for newer divers or anyone looking for a relaxed, visually striking experience rather than big fish action.
