A low-slung morning sun throws silver across the Adriatic as a small dive boat slips in close to shore and the water invites with a cool, quiet pull. In Brela the usual bustle of group charters gives way to a calmer rhythm: two divers, an instructor, and a home reef that begins just meters from the dive center.
