Villa con Ingresso a Protiro

Villa con Ingresso a Protiro is an extraordinary shallow dive in the submerged archaeological park of Baia in the Campi Flegrei, where a Roman villa's entrance hall — complete with its protiro (covered porch) — rests at just 5 meters below the surface. Divers swim through the villa's doorway and over mosaic floors, marble thresholds, and column bases that once welcomed Rome's elite. Marine organisms have delicately colonized the stonework without obscuring its architectural details. At such shallow depth, this is one of the most accessible yet profoundly moving underwater archaeological experiences anywhere in the world.
