FAQ
How do I reach Bigova Bay?
Bigova is a small fishing village on the outer coast of the Lustica Peninsula, about 15 kilometres from Tivat airport and 20 kilometres from Kotor. The village is accessible by a narrow winding road from the main coastal highway. Dive centres in Kotor and Tivat offer boat trips to the Bigova wreck sites, typically reaching the bay in 20 to 30 minutes by sea.
What wrecks can be dived in Bigova Bay?
The bay contains remains of several vessels from different periods. The most notable is the hull section of an Austro-Hungarian patrol vessel at 28 metres, its steel ribs now heavily colonised by marine growth. There are also remains of a Yugoslav-era patrol boat at shallower depths and scattered debris from a World War Two era cargo vessel. The exact inventory continues to be documented by local diving archaeologists.
How does this compare to the Blue Cave at Lustica?
The Blue Cave on Lustica Peninsula is a dramatic natural cavern dive focused on light effects and geological formations, suitable for most skill levels. Bigova Bay offers a completely different experience centred on wreck exploration in deeper water, requiring advanced certification. The two sites are geographically close and can often be combined in a single day of diving.
