ABOUT US
Michael and Halef live in Atlanta, GA, but are originally from Canada and Indonesia, respectively. They love to travel and try to do it as much as possible. They saved for a few years and are currently on a long-term round the world trip!
For those asking, the water temperature in November was fine for me to wear a shortie for the first dive only. When I found out we were doing a second dive in Naples, I switched to a full 5mm suit. On the first dive, I was chilly for the last 5 minutes. The briefings at the dive shop are educational and our guide, Alessandro, made sure we saw everything. Guiding underwater can be challenging, I'm sure, but he was as good as you get! Here is the dive shop we used and recommend: facebook.com/CSCFItalia/
Highly recommended!
Hi, what is the maximum depth there ?
I never thought of Naples as a spot for diving .... and an ancient city no less! Love following all of your adventures.
For sure! We had a great time and felt lucky that we were able to view these underwater world of Ancient Rome. Thanks for watching -

I was supposed to go here here in May of 2020, but you know what happened...It's such a treat that you went and decided to share this with others who cannot go! Thank you!
For sure - something to look forward to, someday!
Make sure to check out our other Italian vlogs, as well as to subscribe to our channel to follow along with our journey 😃
I am afraid of water, I have never tried scuba diving. After watching your video, I feel like, I went diving myself. Beautiful video.
Thank you! We love to scuba dive and have seen so many underwater wonders all around the world :)
Holy cow! They are some really breathtaking ruins! In our travels we have seen plenty of ruins but never had the chance to go underwater to see them! Truly amazing! Ahh, can't be a tasty shwarma! It looked delish! Thanks for uploading and sharing!
Glad you liked it! The company we went with was fantastic. If you ever get the chance to do this dive, check them out. I put their link in the pinned comment at the top.
Nice underwater footage. Good job with the voice-over. There are some interesting Greek ruins around the Pozzuoli area that we saw while we were driving around the area,
Very nice! Yes, there were a lot of cool things to do in Naples. We spent six nights in the city, but unfortunately we didn't see the Greek ruins in Puzzuoli - always next time!
Thanks for watching!
haha Latte Macchiato! Giorgio is from Italy but he didn't know about the underwater roman ruins, they look amazing! We would like to go to Naples, it's an amazing city!
We love Italy, and Napoli is a very unique city in Italy! We will be back there someday!
Stay safe!
We are going to Italy next summer. I wanted to do this, but I was a little concerned about the depth because I am a novice diver. But this a one in a lifetime opportunity to literally touch history. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am inspired!
It's quite shallow and highly recommended for sure 😀
We live in the area and we're so happy you liked Baia! Not many people go there because you actually have to dive in to see it, but it's absolutely gorgeous As for the weather, this year it has been quite warm indeed, December has always been sunny and not overly cold: November was more rainy if compared to December and January
I hope more people see the video to see how amazing it was! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing! Otherwise, I would never be able to see this Sunken City. As always, you guys put up the great content videos!
Thank you for watching!
wow this is insane! never even realized this was there
For sure! There are tons to see around here, as well.
A very cute channel, guys - are you two big scuba divers as well?
Submerged Roman ruins? Are you kidding me? That is so awesome! Never knew this even existed - until now. I have had my doubts about scuba diving, but seeing mosaics, statues, and artifacts from an era long gone makes it really tempting. Also impressed with your editing skills... I have 2 questions for you. 1) I thought I heard you mention that you used a GoPro for filming under water, correct? If yes, which one? 2) How deep do you need to dive to get to these ruins? This is truly one great video guys - fantastic job!
We usually use our Sony 100 for underwater filming (with a underwater housing), but we did use GoPro Hero 6 Black on this dive. Editing-wise, you would have to add the red color back, or use the proper underwater lighting to film with GoPro to maintain the red. Keep in mind that if you don't use housing for GoPro, the water pressure will shut off the GoPro operation below 10m (we learned the hard way in Karimunjawa, Indonesia).
Our dive in Napoli was quite shallow, around 20 feet. These were once waterside properties along the coastline at one point, but with the new volcano Monte Nuovo rises up in Campi Flegrei (still does), the area sunk and slid off to the ocean, hence these structures are now underwater. A very fascinating place, for sure!
wow amazing historical underwater city Baiae ,awesome travel adventure thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Wow! This video particularly intrigued me because I visited Naples, Italy but hadn't even heard of this unique diving experience. This is just so much more than mere sea life. It is like deep diving into the past. The marble mosaic, the emperor rooms the statues, everything is so well preserved. Happy you had a good guide like Alexandrio:) Thank you for sharing something so magnificent!
It looks very cool though!
For sure - it was simply an amazing experience to see something like that underwater! Thanks for watching!
Hey Guys! Thanks for this sweet little video! Next time you're in Naples, try and stay somewhere between the Mergellina Port and the Castel del Uovo! It's a very nice part of Naples, along the Lungomare, very pretty! And you can get an Airbnb apartment there for less than you paid for your hotel, with a kitchen too! Thanks again
Thank you for the heads up, Suzette 😀❤️
Happy to be your 1k-th Like!
😀
Aren’t you guys so happy you went when you did???! Amazing!
For sure 😀
This is such a cool and unique dive. We love old ruins and this is just amazing to see something so hard to see otherwise and have those cool fish also swimming by! Awesome! 😍
For sure! It was simply just an amazing dive. Thanks for watching!
This is a truly incredible diving experience and so unique. I would love to do this. Ancient Rome has always fascinated me since I was young. Amazing experience, you are so fortunate.
If you're ever in the area, we highly recommend scuba diving in Naples. I (Michael) watch everything I can about ancient Rome, so I know exactly how you feel!
Una meraviglia.
Certamente!
The diving is so unreal! Naples has always been the most famous and picture perfect places in Italy for me. also love how you can find food on every street haha, 2:18 That train sounds weird hahaha
Love diving in Italy! There are a few other spots to see underwater throughout Italy and eventually we will get to them someday.
Thank you for watching!
This video is seriously underrated!! Need more views and likes!!!

I could stare at those all day long thinking about those who touched and walked on that marble. It’s crazy to think how beautiful and sophisticated they were, the barbarians came and destroyed it all. They started the “dark ages” with knights and body armor which is beautiful in itself but that time period “ancient Rome” was like nothing else
It's truly mesmerizing to contemplate the intricate beauty and rich history of ancient Rome, isn't it? The ruins beneath the Bay of Naples offer a poignant glimpse into that bygone era, reminding us of the remarkable civilizations that once thrived there. Exploring such submerged treasures is like unraveling layers of time and history beneath the waves.
Great job Man!
my city is amazing!
For sure! We LOVE Italia and especially Napoli!

I'm a new Sub & a NAUI diver. Real cool stuff. A huge ancient Roman buff. So thanks & great video
Thanks for the sub! I had Rescue NAUI cert as well!
This dive sounds like something you would do - diving and Roman ruins are amazing!
dives likes these are quite interesting. Thatnks for sharing
For sure - we are so used to looking for animals when diving, but this is WAY different. Thanks for watching!
@@theRTWguys i heard from some former colleagues that dive that dive that there are some great spots here in Thailand. I don't have my diving license but hopefully can someday.
@@MarVentures Yes! We are big scuba divers and sadly we had to cut down two months off our Southeast Asian trip due to COVID a few weeks ago, otherwise we would have been diving all around Thailand :(
But definitely try to get your certification done, especially if you live in Thailand!
You have a great collection of videos of Thailand, by the way!
@@theRTWguys i would have loved to see that...enjoy and take care
Absolutely loved this video
Thank you 😀
That volcano is currently uplifting at a rate of up to a foot a year currently, which is causing many earthquakes around Pozzuoli.
Thanks for the info!
Thank you! This was the next best thing than going to Baiae!
For sure 😀
I am a Classics student. Never did scuba diving ever in my life. I am going to learn and visit this site some day when corona virus is over! I know how to swim but always bit scared of open water. Going to try conquer my fear!
Absolutely! Good luck and enjoy Scuba diving 🤿
Semangat terus ya buat konten TH-camnya dan jangan pernah untuk menyerah👍
Iyah, terima kasih atas dukungannya 🙏
Napoli é tutta una meraviglia❤
Sono d'accordo! Napoli è davvero una città meravigliosa con una ricca storia, cultura e cibo delizioso. È un luogo pieno di fascino e autenticità. Spero che tu possa tornarci presto per continuare a esplorare tutte le sue meraviglie! 😊🇮🇹
Very nice video guys! I'd love to get my dive certification and your video makes it seem worth it!
For sure! It is highly recommended, and the Campi Flegrei dive is not really well known., even for locals!

@@theRTWguys Thanks guys!
Wow my Friends!
😀
Wonderful!
Thank you 😀
Bon courage vidéo top think you so mouch🇲🇦💯👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you for watching 😀
Diving in italy, you know what I would never have even considered that! Just associate diving with other places other than the Mediterranean! Not much in the way of sea life for you to see but the ruins look incredible! Did you guys not suffer from any jet lag on your journey over? It seems like you’ve jumped straight into more adventures
Hahaha there was some buffer time recovering from traveling day - but we are pretty much always up for adventures! Thanks for watching!
I am proud to be from Naples
Lots to be proud of 😃🇮🇹🍕
Good stuff guys!
Thank you 😀
Nice place can be here there oneday
Highly recommended 😀
Great!!! :-)
Thank you 😀
@@theRTWguys I'm a diver too :-)
Hello:) im going to see this in one month can i ask you.. did you had the ticket for Two dives ?
Yes, we did -
Nice diving to see ruins. Didn't know this
Yes, absolutely worth to add to your itinerary in Napoli! It was such an amazing experience to dive the Roman ruins under the Bay of Naples, Italy!
I’ve been to Italy twice and Egypt tree times.. I absolutely kick myself for not exploring these ancient places!!
Edit. I did see the colosseum and all the tourist stuff in Rome
Oh, hahaha - always finding a reason to go back someday 😀 🇮🇹🇪🇬
Yes I make you right!! Hopefully I’ll get back to Italy one day!! Great video!!
Thank you so much! Check out our other Italian videos for more of our adventure in Campania, Basilicata and Puglia in southern Italy! 🇮🇹
Including Matera, where the new James Bond movie was taking place.
Wow! I didn’t know you could dive in Naples. So cool, are you guys getting your diving license? Looks like you had an amaze day you had, that kebab competed everything! Can’t wait to go Italy when all this quarantine is over :)
We got our Open Water Dive certification (the first tier of diving) in Bunaken in Indonesia - then advanced (Aqaba in Jordan), then Rescue and Dive Master!
Yes, we miss Italy and can't wait to be back soon! Stay safe!
Awesome content! How much did you pay for the dive? Curious
Around 150 eur I think -
Did you all need divers licences or training prior to doing this or did they just guide you?
They require Open Water - that's the basic level of diving certification. Then a Dive Master will lead the session to show you around 😀
Fishes are around and about looking for food from about 4:30 pm to about 10:00 am stay safe that seems sometime during that period of time
Good to know 😊
Can you rent all the equipment you need there?
Yup, as shown in the video
Have you seen any Christian relics underwater in Italy?
No, this was more of Roman ruins
@@theRTWguys Ok. There are lots of Christian relics throughout the ancient Roman Empire.
True, but never heard of them under water before
GRANDI
Si!
this is a bit of a high thought, but I thought about this before, some people think about how the future will dig things up from us, but that's not gonna happen unless we have something extreme happen that destroys countless online videos showing what we have had for the past 100+ years, the fact is we are among the first people who are going to discover the humans past, nobody after us will have the same kind of crazy discoveries on earth, and yes I know there were and always will be people who discover something insane, but as far as consistent discoveries this feels like we are in the moment in history where it happens
Your perspective is quite intriguing! Indeed, the digital age has given rise to an unprecedented amount of recorded information and media that will serve as a historical record for future generations. With the proliferation of online videos, social media, and other digital content, we are creating an intricate tapestry of our daily lives, experiences, and the collective knowledge of humanity.
It's true that the sheer volume of digital content being generated today could potentially provide future generations with an incredibly detailed understanding of our present time. However, as you pointed out, the preservation of this digital record relies on various factors, including technological advancements, data management, and potential catastrophic events.
At the same time, it's important to recognize that history is filled with surprises and unforeseen developments. While the digital age is reshaping how we document and share information, future discoveries may come from unexpected sources, just as many historical findings emerged through archaeological digs, written records, and artifacts.
Your observation highlights the unique nature of our time and the opportunities we have to document and share our experiences more comprehensively than ever before. Whether through digital records or traditional methods, the story of humanity's past and present will continue to evolve, offering insights for future generations to explore and learn from.
Why show all the fun underwater stuff before the actual video? xD Its like watching a movie trailer before every movie
😁 it was a teaser 😅
Is it real tho
For sure
❤️❤️❤️📹
😜🇮🇹🐠
Claudis was After Cagulia and Before ,Nero Claudis went into Britain after Cesar
Thank you for the info 🙂
Have you thought about traveling north of Naples to Portofino? There, underneath the water is a beautiful bronze statue of Jesus Christ dedicated to all scuba divers.
Next time! We love Italy and will be back to explore more of the underwater world of Italy :)
@@theRTWguys Great. Note - a replica of this statue lies underwater off the Florida Keys. And people dive there to see it. Christ The Abyss.
Yes, I have added your Portofino dive site to our things to do someday :) Thank you for the input!

See you around :)
7:43 Just for a matter of facts. Mussolini did not build any sumptuous imperial palace for himself and not in any way in order to please his ego. Although he was a dictator who desired an empire again for the Italians he had not mad ambitions of conquering whole World as Hitler... 🤔
Hahaha very well said!
The Round the World Guys Saying that by an anti-fascist like I am, seems to me even more dense... Let's give Caesars palaces that belong to Caesars and give dictators guilts that belong to dictators... 🤔
At first I thought some dude named Roman ruined your dive
Oh, hahahaha that was funny!! 🤣
dive yonaguni....then you'll have my full attention
Someday!
Eating kebab in Naples???? Why?
Because it was cheap and tasty!! But don't worry - check our our other Napoli videos for our pizza experience 😀🇮🇹
The Round the World Guys I’ll check it, thanks!
Monsanto is same meaning of Montesanto but there is a "Te" syllabe more, and Montesanto is famous for its Pignasecca Market not infamous for exploiting farmers worldwide... 🤣🤣🤣
Yep. We knew that. We just thought about that company when we were filming and it was kinda funny (to us anyway!)
The Round the World Guys No probs. It was funny like people from US searching for the original Gambling Casino in Bellagio town on Lake Como... 🤣🤣🤣
Serbian coat of arms... 4:55 .
Oh, hahaha! I wasn't familiar with the Serbian Coat of Arms, but I guess it does look like it! But it seems like these mosaic is older than Serbia, sadly -

@@theRTWguys In which language does the word victory begin with the letter P t.ly/KsBd ?
there was no alleged "earthquake". It's called Noahs flood
How is it scientifically explained?
Avrete pure i soldi... noi abbiamo la cultura, storia, arte, cibo, moda e il paese che ha più siti patrimoni dell'UNESCO..what else?
We agree! We love Italy!
Yes "protect" the mosaics by covering it up so some other divers can "discover" it...of course uncovering it. And again and again and again. Works wonders for the mosaics surely. Every archeologist is probably bleeding out of every hole out of fury now. Fuckin people...
And I assume you're an expert in Roman Antiquity preservation?
@@theRTWguys If I say yes, you will tell me "Oh I asked an archaelogist myself everything fine" or "Stop tellin lies" if I say no, you will tell me "Then its no business of yours, you know nothing Jon Snow". But even for a layman the conclusion should be obvious. Anyone that thinks this would be fine is someone arrogant or someone so naive that diving in itself would put him at massive risks. I may despise but can respect someone who just openly admits that he just doesn't give a fuck because he wants to have fun and enjoy his pleasures and hobbies unimpeded...
