Description
Have you ever seen a city underwater? Explore the wonders of the ancient Roman city of Baia, the Roman city where luxury was the standard, which today is partly submerged due to the strong volcanic activity of the Phlegraean Fields, the geological area where we find ourselves. The phenomenon called bradyseism has slowly brought the level of the earth down over the years, so today the Roman villas that stood in front of the sea are about four meters underwater and the sea has preserved them wonderfully. Come with us to see the ancient Roman city of Baia, you can experience the thrill of swimming on an ancient city today inhabited by so much marine life. All the remains, being no more than four meters deep, have perfect visibility from the surface and you can easily admire them while snorkeling!

Excellent adventure
It helps if you’ve snorkeled before but 5 of the 6 on this trip hadn’t. We took a small boat a few minutes into the bay and snorkeled with our guide who was very knowledgeable

Highlight of our trip to Naples
Amazing experience with incredibly friendly guides in a beautiful and peaceful town, an excellent reprieve from the bustling of Naples. The snorkeling is a particularly fun and relaxed experience requiring no previous diving experience, as the underwater sights aren't very deep. If you can swim, you will have fun. Additionally, you can go visit the castle up the hill with a museum providing further historical context for the Roman baths and various other epochs that have inhabited this history-rich region. There's a bus directly from Naples center which drops you off right at the doorstep of the diving place and bay. This was pretty much the highlight of our trip to Naples (which is a pretty high standard to begin with). Highly recommended!

Snorkelling over Roman ruins
Unique experience snorkelling over a sunken villa in the harbour of Baia, seeing the ancient ruins and mosaics. Well organised with a very lovely snorkelling guide, Kaye who showed us where to look. The water was a bit murky and those who were able to dive down got a better look. Still was a very cool experience.

Great company to snorkel with
We enjoyed our tour, and particularly loved our guide. I cannot remember her name, but she was really fun, helpful, experienced, and knowledgeable. And I am always impressed when guides can communicate in multiple languages! I would definitely recommend this company. I will say I think there was a lot of activity in the water and a lot of wind so maybe August is not the best time to go, as the water was a bit rough - felt like being in a washing machine for an hour! Perfectly safe but a bit tiring and lots of water in the snorkel - I think I would not recommend this activity at all for someone who was not a strong swimmer. As for what we saw, we booked the lowest level experience and saw walls and floors and mosaics of one section of the old villa... if you want to see more, book a longer trip. For me, it was enough to get a feel for the place and I really enjoyed it.

Best snorkel tour ever!
The snorkel tour of the ruins was a great experience. The staff was excellent and engaged with us the entire time. We will definitely be doing more tours with Sea World Baia Diving
Operator response
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time exploring the underwater ruins with us. It’s wonderful to know that our team kept you engaged throughout the tour and helped make the experience so enjoyable. Sharing the history and beauty of Baia’s submerged ruins is something we absolutely love, and we’re happy you enjoyed discovering them with us! We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next adventure with us!

Good experience
Very well organised, with lots to see, extended time when someone became ill and had to go back to the shore, showers and changing rooms basic
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re glad to hear that you found the activity well organised and enjoyed everything there was to discover underwater. Safety and the wellbeing of our guests always come first, so when someone needs to return to shore unexpectedly, we make sure they receive the attention they need. At the same time, we know that unexpected situations can happen when spending time on a boat, which is why we extend the time in the water whenever possible, so that the rest of the group can still enjoy the experience they came for without being affected by the unforeseen situation! Thank you as well for your honest feedback about the changing rooms and showers. They are intentionally simple and practical: each changing room has a seat and a place to hang your belongings, while the showers are there to do exactly what you need after a dive — rinse off and get the salt off before heading home! We appreciate your feedback and we'll do our best to improve! We hope to welcome you back to Baia for another dive and another chance to explore the incredible submerged ruins!

Very cool experience with...
Very cool experience with a lovely professional team. Prepare to dive to see the mosaics as they are not really visible from the surface.

Best experience!
An amazing experience that I could not recommend enough! Everyone was so kind and welcoming, so knowledgeable and comforting. I was a bit nervous but I felt very comfortable almost straight away and we had so much fun learning the facts, seeing the ruins and the fishes! It could not have gone better- we booked the 8am slot and got lucky it was just us two on the session :) it is a relaxed environment, everyone was chatty and they had also adopted kittens so that was an added bonus :). Thank you so much for the best experience
