    Diving the Baia Underwater Archaeological Park feels less like a dive and more like a time warp. You’re swimming through a Roman city, submerged by centuries of volcanic subsidence, with depths generally ranging from 5 to 15 metres. We’re talking ancient mosaics still on the floor, thermal baths, even entire villas that once belonged to emperors. It's not a site for spotting big pelagics, though you'll see plenty of Mediterranean tapeweed swaying in the gentle currents and maybe a mauve stinger drifting by. This is for history buffs, for those who appreciate seeing human history reclaimed by the sea.
