About SS Probitas Shipwreck
SS Probitas is the classic Saranda Bay wreck dive, a WWII cargo ship that now acts as an artificial reef just off the coastline. The wreck is shallow enough to show well in calm water, but its long profile and mixed depth range reward good buoyancy and a guided plan. It is a strong photo dive with plenty of structure and fish life, especially if you treat the shallow bow and deeper sections as separate parts of the same site.
