Professional diving is a new type of recreation in Albania that has developed over the past decade. Despite this rich coastline, Albania provides unique opportunities for divers who can explore everything from the diverse fauna of the Mediterranean in two different seas and even to different wrecks. For those who want to dive into the Adriatic Sea, there are underwater sports centers north of Vlora. Diving is especially popular on the Ionian stretch of the Albanian coast, where there are numerous centers from Vlora to Saranda. On the Adriatic, divers can practice sports in Vlora Bay and Cape Rodon. On the coast of the Ionian Sea, divers choose between areas north of Saranda, among others: Dhermi, Jal and Cape Laggi. Only in recent years joint Albanian-American expeditions were decisive in discovering old and sunken ships in the area, some of which reach a depth of 33 m and a length of 150 m. However, the most famous and popular wreck found in Albanian waters is the Italian hospital ship PO, which sank in March 1941 after being shot down by a British Swordfish aircraft. A sunken ship in the 3rd or 4th century BC was discovered north of the Gulf of Saranda and is considered one of the best preserved relics in the Mediterranean. Several large amphorae were also found around. In addition to these historical sites, divers can also observe the beautiful underwater scenery created, among other things, green and black algae and corals. some of them reach a depth of 33 m and a length of 150 m.
