Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Albania does not present a single nationwide diver tag or mandatory national marine pass in the way some island destinations do. What matters more is visa status, site-specific tickets such as Butrint, and whether marine-park access is bundled through a licensed operator. For Karaburun-Sazan, the critical issue is zone compliance rather than buying a generic diver permit at the gate.
