SuBaia Diving Center is a dive operator based in Baia, Campania, offering guided scuba dives, snorkeling excursions, introductory Try Scuba experiences, and diving courses. Operating from Baia and serving the Gulf of Naples and the Sorrento Coast, SuBaia focuses on trips to the Parco Archeologico Sommerso di Baia and nearby islands including Ischia, Procida, and Capri.
The center’s program includes single and double dives at underwater archaeological sites, snorkeling above submerged Roman ruins, Try Scuba sessions for beginners, and structured diving courses. Several excursions emphasize exploration of ancient mosaics, statues, imperial baths, and volcanic coastal formations described in trip summaries. Guided activities include theoretical briefings and supervised dives; some Try Scuba options provide two introductory dives while single-dive options are also available.
All trips depart from Baia and combine cultural heritage with marine exploration.
