Double Dive in the Park of Baia
4 hours
Easy
Are you a certified diver willing to dive in the Archaeological Park of Baia? The ancient submerged roman city waits for you! Get ready to visit the archeological ruins among the wonders of the sea today!
This double dive is open to all certified divers with a minimum level of "Open Water Diver", or an equivalent released from another scuba training agency (PADI, SSI, NADD, etc.)
Explore the wonders of the ancient Roman city of Baia, the Roman city where luxury was the standard, that is today in part underwater due to the strong volcanic activity of the Phlegrean Fields, the geological area we are inside of.
The phenomenon called bradisism made the earth level slowly sink down over the years, so today the Roman Villas that were in front of the sea are about 4 meters underwater, and the sea has preserved them to us in a marvellous way.
As soon as you arrive at our Diving Center you will attend a short briefing about the city of Baia and the specific dive site you will be visiting! Baia is a very big archeological area, and it is split into different visit routes by the Archeological Park. Each of them is visitable for one our at a time, and each of the visit routes has been made to last approximately 45 minutes.
If you don't have your own equipment you don't need to worry, we will be able to provide you with all of the equipment you may need, you will only need to bring your swimming suit, a towel and some clean clothes to get changed afterwards if you wish to. Once we're ready we will go by boat (~ 5 minutes of navigation) to the Archaeological Park of Baia where we will admire ancient mosaics, statues, marble floors and all of the ancient structures of the Roman city of Baia (beloved by emperors and senators) and of course the sea life that populates it today! Each dive will last approximately 45 minutes, following one of the visit routes predisposed by the Park, and your Divemaster, your guide, will be always at your side in order to give you the best support and help possible, and to ensure you live an unforgettable experience!
After the two dives we will return to the Diving Center, where you will have at your disposal showers and changing rooms, and usually some refreshments are not missing.
After this experience your guide will be able to certificate that you have done it on your LogBook, and we can assure that our unique stamp is unmistakable, a dive stamp not to miss!
What are you waiting for? Don't miss on this incredible opportunity!
