Submarines Tunnel
Flooded tunnels that once hid the Yugoslav submarine fleet
Former military tunnels off Herceg Novi where the Yugoslav navy once based its submarines. The flooded structures are now dived as an unusual shallow site, and the submarine tunnels are one of the dives that the operators along the Herceg Novi beach offer.
Also known as Submarine Tunnel, Submarines tunnels.
