Never dived there personally... but it's one of those places that you may want to see one time because of their uniqueness (it's like saying.. why you want to go in Silfra? 
).
Very clear water (60 meters or more), very cold water (10C° .. you need a drysuit + 200gr under at least..) but eventually you could survive with a semi-dry (I would never try it..).
There's little if anything flora and fauna ...but you go there for the "village", that isn't really a village anymore since most of the constructions are collapsed.

It looks like it is worth a visit, even if only once. Although it would be more ideal if i was working in Rome, i have the days off this year there, unless there is something better and/or closer to Milan that is worth considering?
You have the Liguria (Portofino) closer to Milan... and it's one of the best area for diving in Italy (it's the biggest marine protect area in Italy), opened to any kind of diving, from recreational to tech to wreck.. etc. To find anything similar/better you have to go to the South (Campania or the islands.. like Ustica, etc.).
You have the Heaven .. one of the biggest wreck in the world, depending of your certification you can visit different levels, however it's one of those "must do" dives.
And if you want something different and spectacular.. there's the Grotta Giusti, an awesome experience: Grotta Giusti Diving – L'esperienza unica di fare diving nella grotta termale più grande d'europa

If you're base is in Rome first place to consider is Argentario: maybe one of best dive points in Italy.

I will be in Milan, so Portofino would be a much closer option for me
Portofino-nice diving and then great food and wine.
