About This Experience
Albania is a well-kept secret among divers who have already discovered its charms. With crystal-clear waters and a stunning coastline, Albania is home to a wide range of scuba diving spots that easily compete with the better-known Mediterranean locations.
Dive into the pristine depths of the Ionian Sea along Albania's southern coast, where visibility regularly exceeds 30 metres. The underwater world here is remarkably unspoiled — ancient Illyrian and Roman amphora fields, vibrant Posidonia meadows, gorgonian fan coral gardens, and dramatic underwater rock formations await exploration.
Whether you are a first-time diver seeking your Open Water certification or an experienced diver hunting for rare nudibranch species, Albania's waters offer unforgettable encounters. PADI-certified instructors lead every dive, and all equipment is provided.

"We had a great experience with The Albania Travel Company. We booked 2 tours with them because they had the most competitive prices. They even let me change the date on one of the tours last minute because of the weather. We ended up spending 4 days with Artan and it was great! 🤙"
