The Luštica Peninsula lies near the entrance to the Bay of Kotor on the Adriatic Sea and offers a wide range of site types: caves, caverns, walls, drop-offs, reefs, and wrecks. Depths extend from very shallow to sixty-five metres, covering beginner through to advanced divers. The Blue Cave, known locally as Plava spilja, channels filtered blue light through natural openings, while Sirena Hole is a vertical chimney that widens as it drops to thirty-one metres. The Fisherman's Wreck at Mamula Island offers a shore-entry option for less experienced divers, and Platamuni's wall-and-drop-off profile reaches depths that suit more advanced divers. Recorded species include Mediterranean moray, conger eel, scorpionfish, purple sea fan, grouper, and cuttlefish.
Monthly water temperature across Luštica Peninsula's sites, from satellite sea-surface data corrected for depth. The band shows the site-to-site spread.
Water temperature stays consistently cool, hovering around fifteen degrees from winter through spring, before climbing to the high teens and low twenties from summer into autumn. The relatively sheltered position near the bay entrance moderates conditions at many sites, keeping currents mild and making the area accessible across a long season. Advanced divers planning the deeper sites such as Platamuni should account for the cooler temperatures at depth throughout the year.
