You step off the pier as the boat slips from Marmaris marina and the Mediterranean opens like a cool breath in front of you. Salt and diesel, gull calls and the slow thump of the engine set the tempo as instructors run through gear on deck. Sun warms your shoulders, the sea below glints, and the promise of underwater ridges and seagrass meadows pulls you forward.

Equalize early and often
