The boat drifts from Bodrum’s small harbor and the Aegean opens like a moving map of blues. Sun glints off the bow, and the instructor’s calm voice draws a line between surface life and the underwater world you’re about to enter. Descending through warm, clear water, you leave wind and gulls behind and enter a landscape where stone and seaweed form shelves and ledges that host colorful fish and scattered patches of hardier coral.
