About Portus Julius
Portus Julius is a shallow submerged Roman port in the Baia park, where the main appeal is walking a guided line over mosaics, collapsed walls, and the remains of the old harbor. The site is more about careful sightseeing than technical depth, so slow buoyancy and attention to fragile details matter more than route complexity. Because it sits inside a managed protected area, the dive is best approached as an organized archaeological visit rather than a casual open-water stop. The shallow profile makes it friendly for new divers and snorkellers when park conditions and permissions line up.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The route is a slow archaeological circuit over mosaics, collapsed walls, and the remains of the old harbor. It is a sightseeing dive where buoyancy and attention to detail matter more than covering distance.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the managed park format and shallow archaeological route are better suited to scuba or snorkel visits.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling can work because the site is shallow, but the best reading of the remains still comes from the guided dive route.
