🎙️ Podcast: The Lost Roman City that Defined DiveSAGA

What if you could scuba dive through an entire ancient Roman city? 🎥 This podcast episode is based on our Submerged Roman City episode: https://youtu.be/2n0Ud0pvm8o?si=KxpsZ2VdYxsA2N9F In this episode of the DiveSAGA Dive Brief podcast, we explore the submerged ruins of Baiae, often called the underwater Pompeii of the Roman Empire. Located in the volcanic region of Campi Flegrei near Mount Vesuvius, this once-luxurious coastal resort slowly sank beneath the sea over centuries. Two thousand years ago, Baiae was the playground of Rome’s elite. Powerful figures like Julius Caesar, Marcus Tullius Cicero, and Nero built massive villas overlooking the Bay of Naples, turning the city into the most decadent resort of the Roman world. Today, divers can swim through Roman streets, hover above ancient mosaics, and explore the remains of bathhouses, villas, and statues preserved underwater for nearly two millennia. But this episode is also about something more personal. It’s about the DiveSAGA video filmed at Baiae that helped define the direction of the channel: the moment underwater exploration became a way to tell powerful historical stories beneath the surface. History, archaeology, and scuba diving collide in one of the most extraordinary dive sites on Earth. 📰 This episode is supported by InDepth Magazine. http://www.indepthmag.com InDepth isn’t about gear hype or clickbait.
