Diving Campania – Naples, Capri, Amalfi & Baia

About Campania – Naples, Capri, Amalfi, Baia

Campania is the beating heart of Italian diving, blending archaeological wonder with glamorous islands and dramatic walls. The Baia Underwater Archaeological Park near Naples lets divers swim among submerged Roman villas, mosaics and statues lifted by bradyseism. Capri offers the red-gorgonian Certosa wall, the Vervece pinnacle and the emerald Grotta dello Smeraldo. The Amalfi Coast adds the Ieranto wall, the Zaffiro cavern and the Li Galli pinnacles, while the Sorrento Peninsula’s Punta Campanella reserve guards gorgonians. Salerno and Agropoli close the region with reefs and the Esaro wreck. Rich, varied and steeped in history, Campania is a world-class destination. The region rewards careful planning and respects the strong Italian marine-protection rules, offering rewarding diving for a range of Mediterranean experience levels.
