The Tunnels
The Tunnels on Sveti Nikola island is one of Budva's best-known beginner sites. Two wide tunnels at 7 m and 4 m (15 m and 6 m long) and a single-chamber cave at about 7 m are lit from both ends. The site reaches only 14 m. Octopus, moray eels, lobster, small rays, shrimp, scorpionfish and parrotfish are typical.
