Naples

Naples is a major Italian city on the Tyrrhenian Sea and a well-known gateway to the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii region. While the city itself is not a premier diving destination, nearby coastal areas offer access to Mediterranean dives. A couple of local dive centers operate in Naples, mainly serving day trips to nearby dive sites along the coast and islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Expect general Mediterranean conditions: warm summers, moderate water visibility, and typical reef-associated and pelagic species farther offshore. For divers visiting Naples, use this city as a base to reach nearby coastal sites and to arrange instruction or equipment rental if needed.
