Best for beginner divers, 8-30m, shore entry, moderate current.
Red Shoes is a freshwater artificial reef in Kosovo, offering a shore-entry dive between 8 and 14 metres with an average depth of 10 metres. The site features an artificial structure providing habitat for temperate freshwater fish and invertebrates. Divers should expect moderate currents and visibility limited to 5 metres, requiring disciplined navigation and buoyancy control. Due to the presence of boat traffic and variable conditions, a surface marker buoy is recommended for all ascents. This site is suitable for beginners, though the combination of cold water, potential for strong currents, and low visibility necessitates careful pre-dive planning and constant buddy contact throughout the typical 40-minute dive.

Check current conditions locally before entering, as currents can strengthen beyond moderate without much warning. Given the 5-metre visibility, a surface marker buoy is strongly recommended to signal your position to boat traffic on ascent.
