The Montenegrin sea coast contains steep limestone cliffs
with many small caverns, which have very convenient habitats for
fish.
The Coastal depth of the sea is about 35m over the sandy
bottom. Underwater cliffs are rich in flora, fauna, corals and other
colonies. Divers have the opportunity to take photographs of schools
of dentexes, giltheads, cantors and many other kinds of fish, as well
as very rare big fish like sea pigeons and lobsters. The summer
temperature of the water is between 21°C and 25°C, which is pleasant
for diving. During the winter the temperature rarely goes bellow 13°C.
The salt deposit is 36‰ and visibility is from 15 to 35 m.
There are a few archeological finds, which are not
completely excavated, on the Montenegrin coast, like Risan Bay,
Kaljala Capo near Rose, Bigovo valley, Platinumi Cape, Volujica Cape
near Bar and Old Ulcinj.
Very experienced and well-trained people take care of
divers' safety, and the hyperbaric center with its modern chambers and
expert staff is situated in Meljine near Herceg Novi.
Foreign divers, individuals or groups, can dive in Montenegrin waters
if they are organized by a diving club from Montenegro. They are
obliged to obtain diving identification from any of the world diving
federations, CMAS, PADI, NNI, SSI, as a proof of competence.
