Overview

Beneath the calm waters of the Gulf of Naples lies one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological treasures — the Sunken City of Baia, often called the Underwater Pompeii. Once a luxurious Roman resort for emperors and nobles, Baia was slowly submerged by the sea due to volcanic activity, preserving mosaics, statues, and villas beneath the waves.
With mask and snorkel, you’ll glide over ancient streets, marble courtyards, and thermal baths, guided by an expert who will reveal stories of opulence, myths, and history. The crystal-clear water allows you to admire the outlines of temples and columns resting on the seabed, offering a magical journey through time where nature and history merge in perfect harmony.
A unique experience that combines adventure, archaeology, and the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean — to see, feel, and live the Roman world from a completely new perspective.
