Full description

This scuba diving experience is designed for complete beginners who want the real feeling of scuba. You’ll meet at the Diving Center on Drymades Beach , where the team will fit you with full equipment and walk you through everything you need to know.

Your experience begins with about 40 minutes of briefing and preparation, covering the essentials: how to breathe through the regulator, how to communicate underwater, and how to move calmly and comfortably. Then you’ll enter the sea gradually from the shore, giving you time to adapt and build confidence while your instructor stays right next to you.

Once you’re ready, you’ll head out on a guided underwater route with memorable highlights such as:

Love Park (around 4 meters) – A fun, photo-worthy spot featuring a heart-shaped bench for a “first dive” moment you’ll actually want to frame.
Lady Statue (around 6 meters) – A popular underwater landmark and a great checkpoint for your growing comfort underwater.
MiG-21 Fighter Plane Wreck (around 9 meters) – A striking piece of history from the communist era, located only about 80 meters from shore, making it one of the most accessible wreck experiences on the Ionian coast.

The underwater portion is typically around 20 minutes, and the full experience lasts a minimum of 1 hour. Throughout the dive, your instructor keeps the pace relaxed and takes pictures at each stop.

Went here all the way from Saranda to dive and see the fighting jet under water! 10/10 very friendly and supportive crew. They made it very safe as well too. Thanks for the experience guys!

I had one of the most unforgettable experiences with this diving center in Albania. I was diving together with a friend, and during our first few attempts, we both struggled. I even felt stressed and close to giving up. But the instructor was incredibly supportive — not just technically, but also psychologically. Thanks to their patience and encouragement, I managed to complete the dive and truly enjoy it. This experience didn’t just give me an amazing adventure; it also boosted my self-confidence in a way I didn’t expect. I’m deeply grateful for that.
