Excellent diving, very professional and perfectly organised. We took two dives on the splendid Po hospital ship, with excellent visibility. The diving company provided all the equipment, new and in perfect working order. Between the first and second dive we took a long surface interval (about 3 hours) with a picnic on the beach offered by the diving company. Experienced guide and captain, with excellent knowledge of the area and the wrecks. Highly recommended

Dear diving friends, I found myself very well at this Diving, both the Adriatic Guide and the commander, are smart, nice and helpful. Beautiful dives, especially the wreck of the hospital ship, although visibility was poor that day. Diving along the coast, in the cave were very nice with excellent visibility, shame we did not meet the monk seal. The only flaw for which I did not give 5 stars is the port, very dilapidated, all broken especially in the boarding area and without facilities to wash equipment. I was told that the construction of the new port will begin shortly. If you pass by Vlora I Recommendation this diving

Adriatic the club boss is great. His hard boat is comfortable. Well equipped. Combi extender computer in excellent condition. Fresh water homemade fruit cookies available during the interval of dives.
2 fantastic dives on the Po Hospital with the possibility to visit the inside for the most experienced.
Diving clubs are rare in Albania. Oazi is a very good one. Book without hesitation.
I'm a dive instructor. 30 years of experience. At least 700 dives to my credit.

As a couple of divers with different experience levels (OWD and a Deep Diver) we had an amazing day doing 2 shore dives with Oazi Blu! Very professional scuba guidance, quality equipment, and the fresh snacks between dives highly above the average! We visited Mig-21 Plane Wreck and the Shipwreck next to it. After that, the second dive was on a reef in Jale area were we could see schools of smal fish, octopuses, morena, and thanks to the great visibility (more than 20m) allowed us beautiful wide panorama uw pictures capturing the deep blue of the Ionian region. 5 stars well deserved 🤿💙🇦🇱🙏

We went on the Po hospital wreck dive with Adriatik and had a really good time. Very professional dive instructor who took good care of us and with new and very good equipment. The wreck is spectacular and one of the best visually I’ve dived.
Boat trip out was also without any problems. Trip includes a stop for lunch on the Karabun island - simple sandwiches and lots of fruits, snacks and salad. Very nice people who shared a lot of Albania with us. Would recommend them if you want to dive in Albania.

Oazi Blu was the only Open diving school of the ones I have contacted at the Albanien cost.
Within couple of minutes the dive was arranged for the next day.
The instructor was competent and the equipment in excellent conditions. Based on the divers experience the support by the instructor was focused on the individual needs.
All in all a great experience.
The communication and planning was easy & fast.
Looking forward to experience different dive sites in Albania.

I had the chance to go with Oazi Blu for two diving trips on the coast of Himarë.
For the first dive, I and another AOWD joining the trip met in the morning at Porto Palermo with Adriatik - the instructor. When we arrived, Adriatik awaited us with the equipment and gave us the full background on the rich history of the dive site. Ionian waters are in May with around 17 to 19 degrees a bit chilly, so a full 5mm wetsuit with a hood, which was as the other equipment completely new, is the right outfit. Adriatik provided a detailed pre briefing in which he outlined the specifics of the site including different routes depending on air consumption and comfort under water. Entering the water was very easy, followed by a 10min swim to a deeper point to start the dive at ~6m. The beginning of the dive took us along old amphora and smaller relicts from WW I & II which lay in a depth of up to 35m. Although sea life is as in many places of the Mediterranean rather limited, the rock formations and the access to the cave below the castle of Porto Palermo were unique experiences. After the dive, we used the time for the surface interval to briefly visit to castle before leaving by car for the next dive site.
The second dive at Jale Beach was very relaxing. We reached a maximum depth of 18m but were mostly staying at around 12m, maneuvering around the spectacular pinnacles and canyons. The wildlife is more active compared to the first site - with chances to see octopuses, centipedes, groupers and larger shoal of fish passing by.
After the second dive, Adriatik, who made with his calm personality the whole trip incredibly comfortable, provided a debrief before finishing the trip at around 4pm.

It was my first time diving in Albania and I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, I found a very competend and down to earth diving center. Adriatik our dive guide and Gjergji the skipper have been amazing from the start. I had all my equipment but I saw the one they rent and it looks almost brand new. I did two dives on the Hospital ship PO, unfortunately the visibility wasn't great but the wrek itself is amazing. After the first dive they provided some of the best snaks I had on a dive boat, homem ade sandwiches, fresh fruits, dates and muffins. For the surface interval they took us to a near beach to relax a bit and then back to the wreck for a second dive. On the way back to land more tasty snaks were given.
I definitely recommend diving with them. Maybe it isn't the super cool and shiny dive operator you usually find in other countries but don't doubt their professionalism.
I look forward to go back for some more diving with them.

We had 6 great dives with Enton (Tomka) - a mixture of boat and shore dives. Great experience, great guy, super friendly and patient (I always get a little anxious after a boat journey so need a little time to calm my head before descending). The boat skipper (Rucu - apologies if the spelling is wrong!) was great too, couldn’t do enough for you, always helping getting the kit ready and getting you on/off the boat. Always happy to have a coffee and chat. They took us to some local cafes which we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise.
We will definitely be back next year to dive with them again. Thank you for making out first Albanian holiday a fantastic one. 🥰
