Dive into History in Baia, Naples
Beneath the waters of the Bay of Naples lies one of Italy’s most unique dive sites — the Submerged Archaeological Park of Baia. Once a thriving Roman city, much of Baia now rests beneath the sea, preserved as an underwater museum. Imagine gliding past mosaics, marble statues, ancient villas, and streets that date back over 2,000 years — all while exploring this hidden world by scuba or snorkel. It’s a journey back in time, an unforgettable experience for beginners and pros alike.
