You step off the pier as the boat cleaves a glassy Mediterranean, the pinkish silhouette of Alanya Castle watching from its rocky ridge. Sea spray tastes faintly of salt and citrus; instructors run through gear while sunlight sketches patterns on the hull. In an hour you’ll be lowering into clear, warm water and slipping into caverns carved from limestone where schools of wrasse and curious octopus thread through crevices.
