Platamuni Wall - Budva & Bar
Platamuni Wall offers a solid dive for those looking for a proper Mediterranean wall experience. The cliff face just keeps going down, dropping to around 35m, and we often find ourselves just floating along, watching the light play on the rock. It's home to some really striking gorgonians, and if you’re patient, you might spot lobsters tucked away in the crevices. This site is a good pick for intermediate divers who appreciate the quiet beauty of a well-preserved wall, without needing a lot of dramatic action.
