What to expect

You'll start in the shallows where your guide walks you through breathing, equalising pressure, and moving underwater. Once comfortable, you'll descend into Baia's flooded archaeological landscape—genuinely surreal. Expect to see the remnants of temples, domestic spaces, and scattered stone sculptures colonised by fish and sea growth. The water is typically clear but cool. Your guide stays close throughout, checking your comfort constantly. You'll surface several times if needed. Afterwards, you'll receive edited photos and video clips of your dive.
