About Kalafat
Kalafat is a shallow wreck-and-reef dive off Budva where old shipwrecks have become artificial reefs in the protected Platamuni area. The site is more about short, easy navigation over wreck structure and fish-filled hard bottom than about depth, and the shallow profile makes it workable for newer divers as well as repeat easy dives. It fits divers who want a relaxed boat outing with good marine life, clear route-markers, and a simple all-year coastal plan.

Scuba
Shallow wrecks and hard-bottom structure create an easy reef-style dive with clear landmarks and abundant life.
Freedive
Possible only as a shallow, calm-day shoreline or boat-side exercise; the wreck structure is the main attraction rather than a freedive target.
Snorkel
Useful near the shallowest structure in calm water, though the wrecks and reef details are better appreciated on scuba.
