Scuba diving here is about guided boat access to a marine park that still feels frontier-like. Local centers such as Oazi Blu run full-day trips to Sazan and Karaburun, choosing sites according to weather and diver level. The draw is variety rather than one famous pinnacle: blue-water walls, bright reefs, caves, sulfuric geology, wartime remains, and a surprisingly wild coastline. You can spend one day in beginner-friendly Karaburun shallows near Cape of Tongue and another on deeper Sazan walls or Hell's Gorge. For divers who enjoy Mediterranean texture, photo opportunities, and places that are not over-dived, it is one of the most intriguing corners of Albania.
A reliable Karaburun site for scenic and entrylevel diving, with clear shallows before the terrain steepens.
A mixed reef and historicalinterest zone with depth to about {{ 35 | distance:m }}, often chosen when conditions favor Sazan's southern side.
The largest coastal cave in Albania is a signature visual dive with intense blue water, rocky architecture, and easy pairing with nearby reef sections.
On Sazan, the entrance starts around {{ 10 | distance:m }} and the passage reaches nearly {{ 100 | distance:m }} to a large air pocket.
A dramatic Sazan wall that drops toward about {{ 45 | distance:m }}, giving experienced divers the deepest and most openwater feel in the area.
