SUTOMORE - Budva & Bar

The Sutomore wreck, a former motor vessel that sank in 1969, lies at a reachable 50 metres, making it a solid pick for those with deep diver certs. We found her surprisingly intact, considering the stormy weather that sent her down while under tow. You can still make out the superstructure and deck fittings, and schools of damselfish and small groupers have made the holds their home. It's a nice dive for wreck enthusiasts wanting to explore a bit of maritime history without extreme challenges, especially on a calm day when visibility extends the view.
