Description

Sunk in 1943 during an air raid, SS Probitas is one of the most iconic wreck dives in Saranda and one of the best-known dive sites on the Albanian Riviera. This 100-meter-long ship lies just 50 meters from shore and offers a unique mix of underwater history, strong visual impact, and accessible wreck exploration. The wreck is well preserved, with some sections beginning at only 3 meters below the surface, while the site reaches a maximum depth of 22 meters. Its layout makes it especially appealing for certified divers who want to experience a real shipwreck in calm, clear Mediterranean conditions. SS Probitas stands out for its historical significance, impressive size, and easy-to-follow structure. It is a memorable dive for anyone interested in wreck diving, underwater photography, and exploring one of the most distinctive dive sites in Saranda.
