Albania is listed among 21 places to be visited in 2018 by the most prestigious media National Geographic. This is great news for our country. But the most important thing is that we are listed for such an extraordinary underwater world, which is still unexplored and unknown even for Albanians themselves. This is a call for all people who love to dive and explore the underwater world. It is the only country among other 21 placed in the list, to be suggested by National Geographic for such a special underwater tour. Here is what the article says about Albania:
“Sunken aqueducts, shipwrecks, and rarely visited caves are
a few of the relatively untouched treasures awaiting divers in Albania. Decades
of isolation under communist leader Enver Hoxha limited development and
inadvertently preserved underwater cultural heritage, particularly off the
southern coast.”
You may ask why scuba diving wasn’t famous in Albania,
because the dictator Hoxha banned scuba diving to prevent Albanians from
escaping.
