Parco Sommerso di Baia is a submerged archaeological site featuring Roman ruins, including mosaic floors and columns, resting at depths between 3 and 13 metres. These structures were submerged due to volcanic subsidence. The site offers visibility ranging from 15 to 20 metres with mild currents, making it suitable for both divers and snorkellers. Entry is possible from the shore or by boat. In the Secca Fumosa area, sulphurous fumes create localized hot water pockets. Divers should remain aware of boat traffic and potential entanglement risks when navigating the overhead environments of the ruins. Facilities on shore include parking, toilets, showers, and rinse stations.
