About this tour
Strap on a tank and descend into Baia's submerged Roman ruins—a 3-hour guided dive through statues, mosaics and thermal baths now claimed by the Mediterranean. An instructor stays with you throughout, walking you through this drowned city off Italy's Campania coast. You'll surface with a PADI-recognised certificate, post-dive refreshments and the strange thrill of having breathed amongst 2,000-year-old architecture.
Highlights
- Swim past Roman statuary and intact mosaic floors underwater
- One-on-one instructor guidance for complete beginners
- PADI Open Water first-dive credit towards certification
- Explore multiple designated routes through the submerged park
- Access thermal complexes and ancient structures in person
- Boat transfer and full equipment hire included

What to expect
You'll meet your instructor at the centre, complete the e-learning module if new to diving, then kit up with full scuba gear. A boat carries you to your chosen route within the park. Once in the water, your instructor remains close, pointing out architectural details and marine residents—fish weaving through columns, life reclaiming marble. The site isn't a challenging dive; clarity and depth vary with conditions, but the setting transforms a beginner's first underwater breath into something genuinely memorable. Expect wonder, a bit of nerves settling quickly, and the surreal sensation of finning over Roman history.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant or with serious heart or breathing conditions. Wheelchair-accessible facilities and transport available. Book restaurant lunch separately if wanted. The e-learning access remains yours after the dive. Bring a towel or hire one; shower facilities are on-site.
