Cool dive and awesome staff - This is truly a spectacular dive tour, unlike any other. The dive team is extremely kind and patient with everyone and knowledgeable about the ancient city. Before the actual dive they give you a presentation on what the city of Baiae was like 2,000 years ago AND a blueprint of exactly the ruins you'll be diving. The depth is fairly shallow so there’s no stress and the water temperature is fantastic. Can’t stress enough how nice and accommodating the entire staff was. I would highly recommend this dive to anyone who’s interested in Roman history.

Amazing dive experience - Very professional dive shop. Staff that were friendly, helpful, and informative. The dive is very easy. The mosaics and ruins are stunning. The water visibility was low, but that was not a concern as you are focused on the seabed and the site itself, not the surrounding water. Highly recommend to any divers looking to do something different in the area, even those with a limited interest in archeology. And for those who are interested, there is an enormous archeological site on the hill across the street from the dive centre!

Subiae Archaeological Dive Experience - I completed the 1 day introduction to scuba with my wife. From start to finish we felt safe at all times despite our inexperience. We are both in our fifties and had no trouble with the activity that I would recommend to people of all ages. We had one instructor between the two who guided us around both the archeological sites (doing the two dive option is a must) I cannot endorse this professional company enough and would jump at the chance to do it again if we had the time. Whether staying in Biaie or making a trip to the team at Subia you will not regret it.

Great Experience - Amazing experience. Highly recommended. Thousands at Pompeii but a very limited number of people experience Baia. The Staff and the Divers are great. We're so glad we found SuBaia and had this experience.

Unique Experience! - Very unique dive opportunity to immerse yourself in ancient history! Mosaics (and reef life) was a real treat to see. We had a thorough digital tour of the sites before we got in the water to show us and explain the history of exactly what we were going to see. That really enhanced the experience. In terms of dives themselves, they were very shallow (15-20ft) and visibility was okay. It seems like you should be able do it as a public shore dive, but it's actually a protected area, which requires special federal permits to enter, and hence you need a guide. Additionally, the pictures make it look like everything is pristine, but in reality it is covered under sand, coral, and rubble. Which in hindsight, should have been expected, but to have the team, actually uncover the ruins, let us take pictures, and then recover them to preserve them, made it a slightly different experience than I was expecting. Half our family snorkeled and were only able to see anything because we were down there diving and uncovering the relics. Definitely still worth it, just a little different than expected. We also saw a lot of wonderful marine life, including, fish, eel, octopus, brittle stars and other lovely creatures. The dive team was super awesome, very friendly, patient, polite, and had nice gear for us. I would certainly dive with them again in the future, but I'd rather dive a reef than these same sites again. Highly recommend to do it at least once for the experience though! And bring a camera.

Great sites, decent service - The dives and instructors were great and the sites were amazing to behold. Good value for money. My one issue was that when I rented a gopro from them, it stopped functioning halfway through the day but I was still charged full price.

Don’t waste your time. Much better things to do in Naples - The tour was just in the dirty harbour. We were transferred by boat for just three minutes. The visibility was very poor. We were taken out with some scuba divers who, when we could see anything, obscured what we could see . The whole operation was overpriced and unprofessional. I would not recommend this in any way.
