The experience
The Baia Submerged Park holds what remains of a Roman city that sank over centuries: temples, villas, statuary and streets now colonized by marine life. You need a Junior Open Water Diver certification or higher to book. The dive center staff handles all the logistics: they fit you with SCUBA gear, walk you through the site conditions, load you onto a rigid inflatable boat that departs just steps from the center, and motor you out in less than five minutes to where the ruins begin. The water is shallow enough that you can see the whole layout without fighting depth or current.
Once underwater, you have roughly an hour to move through the site with your guide. The archaeological park entrance is included, as is the guide's narration of what you're looking at, which structures these were, how they ended up here, what the Romans built them for. After you surface and return to the center, you can shower and change in the facilities there. The whole experience, from arrival to departure, takes about two and a half hours. You can arrange lunch at a partner restaurant on request if you want to stay longer.
