Baia in Italy is a pretty seaside town, in the province of Naples, in the Campi Flegrei area, near Pozzuoli, and in ancient Rome, both a.c. that d.c., had become a thriving health resort as well as a commercial and military center of extreme importance.
In Baia the numerous and majestic remains found testify to this; from the imperial baths to the sumptuous temples and the important ruins found underwater. In fact, the phenomenon of bradyseism has existed in this area for millennia, due to the volcanic action of the territory, which caused part of the important ruins to be submerged.
To protect all this, given the importance and vastness of these submerged ruins, the protected marine area of Baia was created in 2002: an underwater archaeological park of unimaginable historical and cultural value. And it is precisely here that we decided to dive.
In fact, our intent is to raise awareness of and enhance this park by organizing underwater excursions and snorkeling in the most interesting points in Baia. All dives have Diving Subaia Campania Divers as their starting point.
