Frequently asked questions

It’s not mandatory to be certified!

If you don’t have a Scuba Diving certification you can either do the Discover Scuba Diving program - the first dive for non-certified divers - or snorkeling - so you can enjoy the ruins comfortably from the surface!

A medical certificate may only be required for PADI training programs, like courses or the Discover Scuba Diving program.

You can check if you would need one by filling out the form you can find on the button below.

Our cancellation policy is of 24 hours!

If you decide to change or move your reservation we can do it with no problems and no additional costs before the 24 hours from the appointment time (according to the availability we have).

If you decide to cancel the activity it will be fully refunded before the 24 hours.

Afterthis deadline the reservation cannot be modified or refunded!

Make sure to reach out for any chages a little earlier than 24 hours so we have time to do everything!

In case of a last minute bad weather we can either cancel or reschedule the activity.

The 24 hour policy is not applied in this case. 

All Baia archaeological tours include boat transportation, park entry permission fees, and a certified guide.

For all dives tank refills and weights are included.

For snorkelers the necessary equipment rental is included.

For DIscover Scuba Diving divers the full equipment rental and a personal medical insurance is included.

All of the activities include the use of changing rooms, lockers and a hot shower,

If there is rain is not a problem at all, we might just get wet ahead of time!

The only case in which we have to cancel the activity is when we have strong wind blowing from South-East.

In case there is the necessity for safety reasons to cancel the dive we’ll reach out to you to either cancel or reschedule the activity!

Yes, there is an entrance fee of €5 per dive per diver and €3 per tour per snorkeler, but it is already included in the prices you see displayed.

You won't be charged any fees that are not shown upfront.

Unfortunately, since we have a limited time on the buoys of the Archaeological Park we have a latness policy that needs to be applied.

These are the maximum amount of delay that we accept for every activity:

Discover Scuba Diving - 10 minutes

Certified divers - 15 minutes

Snorkeling - 30 minutes

If you arrive even more late, according to the availability, we could try to move/modify your reservation for the same day (there will be additional costs).

All of the dive sites we have are pretty shallow - which means every activity is easy and enjoyable!

We have 7 dive sites between 3 and 5 meters deep and only 1 dive sites at 12 meters - the last one is only for certified divers.

We accept every diving certification from (Junior) Scuba Diver PADI and equivalents!

The Archaeological Park of Baia is a whole city underwater and too big to see all of it in one time!

It is divided in different dive sites and the rule of the Park is that we see one dive site at a time and we can stay there for one hour per tour!

To allow every Diving Center to visit Baia, the Archeological Park authorizes us to reserve the buoys the day of the activity, based on the availabilities!

If you have any preferences you can let us know and we’ll do our best to let you see the dive site that you choose!

The buoys are reserved for one hour and the visit routes of every dive sites are made to last between 35 and 45 minutes.

We usually manage to spend between 40 and 45 minutes to see the whole dive site, calmly and without any rush!

Every activity that we offer can be a sigle or a double tour:

Single - we see one dive site of the Archaeological Park

Double - we see two dive sites of the Park

We always consider one hour to get ready and hop on the boat, one hour for each dive sites and one last hour after we come back to shower or change.

You might want to consider 3 hours for the single experience and 4 hours fot the double one!

For the Snorkeling activity and for the Discover Scuba Diving program all the equipment you’ll need will be provided!

We are inside a bay so the visibility changes a lot also every hour.

Most of the time is actually really good!

But don’t worry! Also if the visibility is not the best we can always admire the city either underwater or from the surface since it’s really shallow!
