Superbe première expérience de plongée avec Budva Center ! Des explications et un cadre bienveillants et adaptés à des novices, et une plongée de 30 minutes très sympathique ! Booked in last minute From the start, the instructor Carl was very clear and informative. Wet suites and equipment were a good fit. Any issues were sorted before you left to the site. On the way to site, Carl ran through safety instructions again and made us feel at ease the whole way through. Dive was fantastic, with 1 to 1 instructors . Photos were taken regularly throughout the dive. Both my partner and I absolutely loved our first with these guys, first class service thanks Weston (uk) Not much sealife on the location Une sortie plongée mémorable et bien encadrée ! L’équipe était professionnelle, et notre instructeur a pris le temps de nous expliquer chaque étape. L’équipement était en bon état. La plongée s’est déroulée dans un beau cadre et dans des eaux claires. L’encadrement était parfait, avec une attention particulière à la sécurité. Les instructeurs peuvent prendre des photos (pour 10€ supplémentaire). Je recommande vivement cette expérience. Everything was Who come to Budva must houn a free and try scuba I had a wonderful with them. Professionals, the " go thru" before the is detailed, well explain, they can adapt to situations, languages barrier. They're good team, fun, passionate. You are in good hands with them, safe and sound just enjoy the underwater life cause they'll take care of everything. The communication and reservation were easy, punctual. They take you individually under the water, lets you to adapt with the equipment, feel the vibe and then dive. They're patient, carrying and a hell of a good time. * Octopus, sea stars, colorful amazing sensation to swim with them. Thank you guys, for the extra tipps also :). Hvala brate/sestro 🫡 So whenever you are enough dealing with people just go under the sea :) We spent 3 days with the team. Some locations for open water divers, 2 per morning. They are close by and we went to 5 different sites around the opposite island mainly. My daughter was and I came along and was given snorkelling equipment, I saw a moray eel, many and fire worms. My daughter saw the above and in addition octopi, star fish, lobster and many different types of fish. The leaders are all very friendly, welcoming and explain the details of the day really well. On board helpers were great. Lovely to be with, made us feel at home. fun overall and value for money. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to here. We will pc w back for the advanced course next year. Thanks very much guys. Louise & Jess I rate the center for for beginners. Personally, I really enjoyed with an instructor. The entire procedure was thoroughly explained and here was a pleasure. I would gladly come back here someday. Completed the AOWD with Budva Center and I feel like I levelled up big time. Carl was amazing, really knows his stuff. Equipment was grand, the boat had storage for our things, and they provided compass and computer as needed. Underwater, we had good visibility and the sites we went to were interesting. Damian and Carl were nice, patient and receptive. As a beginner with no experience, Carl my personal instructor took the to educate me on all the basics things I needed to know. Under water was as he made sure I was okay. It was a 10/10 and I highly recommended them I had a chance to complete my PADI OWD certification with Budva Center. The proposed 3 days in a row (2 dives per day) with a clear briefing, instructions and sites description to make your nice and smooth. The sites are very beautiful and I could see a lot other things. Thanks to Milan, Carl, Damjan and Alex for their professionalism, and all these with a good mood! Special mention for Alex who was my instructor and made my dives and skills apprenticeship so easy and fun. I got certified and booked 2 more dives, feeling like I became a part of the crew ☺️ will miss you guys and definitely will come back ! Super club de plongée. Le personnel est gentil, prévenant, très professionnel et aux petits soins. Le matériel et le bateau sont tops. Les plongées étaient parmi nos meilleures : intéressantes et ludiques : canyons et grottes ! La visibilité était correcte (on est pas non plus à Malte !). We had an exceptional morning doing our discover course with the Budva Team. For beginners there is so much to see in a local area! The were very friendly, knowledgable and really guided us through the experience. I would recommend to anyone - a must try experience. Got OWD and AOWD certification here, very good helpful instructors, good sites. I had an absolutely incredible with the Budva Center! I was amazed by the vibrant marine life, encountering octopuses, sea cucumbers, crabs, and an abundance of colorful fish. The true highlight, however, was the exceptional team. Our tutor, Damian, was outstanding. His expertise, patience, and passion for made the both educational and enjoyable. Damian, along with the entire team, provided top-notch instruction and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the dive. If you’re looking for an unforgettable in Budva, I highly recommend the Budva Center. Had a fantastic with this centre over the course of 6 dives. The marine life was excellent - vibrant schools of fish, octopus, lobsters, eels, and much more. Each site featured unique underwater geography, adding variety to every dive. The operation is professional and well-run, but more importantly, the staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly prioritised safety. I used my own gear for the most part, though the rental equipment looked good-quality and well maintained. I’d highly recommend this centre to anyone keen on exploring rich marine life with a reliable, welcoming team. Amazing experience, professional team. Locations were also quite interesting. I had a with the Budva School and definitely recommend it to anyone ( new to or experienced and certified divers ). Their are very friendly and professional. I felt well looked after at all times - booking was smooth, briefing on the day was very clear and detailed and my equipment was checked and they helped me to kit up. In the water I felt well looked after as our leader was often checking on us and going at a steady pace. Thank you guys ! Ekaterina( open water 20 certified ) One of the best centers I’ve dove with. Damian & Olga - the owners - are super friendly and very professional. I dove with Enrica and Utku, they are amazing instructors. I call them the ‘octopus finders’! Best for me. for my kids and me at the PADI Budva Center. Thanks a lot to Damjan and his team. They managed perfectly to switch between seriousness and relaxation. The conditions were perfect, also for beginners. Kid completed the Open Water Diver (Junior) within three days/six dives without any problems - and made the first breath underwater. 🐟 I had a fantastic discover session with Damian and his team. Started with a brief intro to and safely session, then we headed out to the boat with Carl, Utku, Selin and Miloo. Made us feel welcome and comfortable, super funny people! Instructors speak English/Turkish possibly a few others too so not to worry on that front. We had a 30min session once we made it to the site (close to St Nikola Island) accompanied by a 20 min snorkelling session which was a treat! They had a intern (Selin) who had to complete some activities before we went back to the centre. We saw lots of schools of fish/sea urchins and star fish. The instructors are super supportive and helpful, willing to take it slow etc if you have issues while your diving. They are also very attentive. It’s a 1 on 1 instructor to diver ratio. They also take pictures for an extra 10 euro. I would recommend, it was worth every Euro! Would definitely go back next i find myself in Budva. On the way back to the car we passed an open court volleyball and basketball game by the coast 2min from the centre. What a way to end the day. We group of 6 people went for beginner scuba program on 12th of October. Lovely staff and instructor. First we were anxious , later it was the best we had . Saw octopus , fishes and eels. Lovely people and must say. Worth a lifetime visit. This was my 4th dive, but I have never seen such low standards of a center. The center has only one small dirty container and one umbrella. Everything looks on their website, but it's actually just an internet scam to lure you in. An extreme disappointment, without filling out the mandatory documentation... not even minimum standards and hygiene. If you’re reading this you found a very appealing center. All the instructors are competent and patient in their teaching. After I did the Discover I decided to do the Open Water Diver as well. Throughout the entire course I felt like I was in hands with my instructor Carl. Besides teaching me all the necessary skills he also gave me many explanations and useful tips which made a lot more accessible. Not only was he a instructor but also a very communicative person which made the even more fun. I think you don’t need to keep looking further for another center. My husband, my son and I made a few weeks ago our PADI Open Water Diver with the Budva Center. The was just and the atmosphere on the boat was really enjoyable. Although this was our first experience, we felt completely safe underwater. This was definitely the merit of our instructors Damien and Carl, who are experienced, very patient and attentive. So each one of us could go with his own speed and felt comfortable and relaxed. The boat was big and the equipment was impeccable. We had a beautiful underwater in two different reefs, encountered octopuses, moraines and beautiful colorful fish. Dear Damien, Carl, Milan, Alex und Selin, thank you for this unforgettable experience! Budva Center was a experience! I have been in Australia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Croatia, Borneo, and Hawaii. First of all, it was beautiful! Secondly, which I find more important, is comfort level with diving: It had been a while since I last went diving. I’ve had past experiences in this case where the master you’re with can make you feel dumb or they can feel annoyed with you if you forget something or have trouble with something because they expect you to know everything. I am happy to say this was NOT the case here, which I very much appreciated. The master, Damian, made me feel very welcomed and was very helpful, professional, and kind. I shared I had trouble with buoyancy in the past and he gave me tips ahead of and was constantly checking on me for that during the dive. I also had a small problem with my mask in the second dive, I could have been fine and finished the but he noticed and fixed it in a second which I was very impressed about. It made the rest of the 10x better 👌🏼. It’s a family business for over 30 years and you can tell how genuine, kind, caring and professional everyone was. I asked a lot of questions to find out, they are very humble about it. Overall, I am VERY happy with my dives! I was with a group and everyone had something different they needed help with at some point, and all the staff were able to help and accommodate everyone. I also liked they had another professional diver behind everyone in case someone needed help, which ended up being very useful and made the more relaxing and enjoyable knowing we had eyes on us for safety, so we could have our eyes on the beautiful ocean we were exploring. I also asked the staff about other places they’ve been and they gave me lots of tips on where to go next :). There was also a warm shower to rinse off the salt water when finished which was a nice plus. I was staying very far from the center, and transportation in Montenegro right now is not easy. They went out of their way to help me get there and back, and texted me to make sure I made it back okay. 😊 Thanks to Olga and the whole staff for making my dives happen in Montenegro! I will definitely be back next I come to Montenegro! A few days ago, I had the chance to go scuba for the first in my life. Since it was my first experience, I was nervous at the start. The that greeted us was very friendly and cheerful, so I quickly relaxed. After a clear and understandable briefing, we headed to the island of Hawaii. The boat was well-equipped and large enough for everyone to have their own space. We received clean equipment. The atmosphere and the on the boat were fantastic. Their enthusiasm and positive energy made the even more enjoyable. Underwater, we explored two different reefs, took some photos, and saw colorful and sea stars. This was a birthday gift from my boyfriend, so we took some photos together. Thank you to the for an unforgettable experience. 😊 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
