Kolocep Bezdan Abyss - Budva & Bar
We’ve always found Kolocep Bezdan Abyss to be a solid spot for getting your fins wet in Montenegro. Dropping to a gentle 21 metres, it’s a friendly dive, perfect for those just getting comfortable with buoyancy or shaking off some rust. You’ll find some interesting rock formations here, little ledges and cracks that often shelter small wrasse and the occasional moray eel peeking out. It’s not a drift dive, so you can really take your time exploring the nooks. We’d suggest going early morning before any potential boat traffic picks up, as the light can be lovely then.
