Snorkeling in the Park of Baia

3 hours

Easy

Have you ever seen and underwater city? Come with us to see the ancient Roman city of Baia. The city, being at four meters depth, has a perfect visibility from the surface and you could easily see it while snorkeling!

To do the Snorkeling Experience no license is required and the minimum age to participate is seven years old.


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 four meters underwater, and the sea has preserved them to us in a marvellous way.  


Once you arrive at the Diving Center you will attend a short theoretical lesson conducted by our instructors, to best explain the safety procedures, the equipment you will be using and how to behave in the water. You will know all you need to be safe and to enjoy each second of your experience!  


We will provide you with all of the equipment you 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 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! All the while, we'll be swimming among a multitude of colourful fish that will make the experience even more special.  The tour will last approximately 45 minutes, following one of the visit routes predisposed by the Park, and our guides will always be by your side to give you the best support and help possible, and to ensure you live an unforgettable experience!  


After the snorkeling activity 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.  


What are you waiting for? Don't miss on this incredible opportunity!
