You step off the quay into the salt-washed morning and the boat cuts a low wake across Brindisi’s shallow bay. A guide runs through equipment while the shoreline—Roman stonework, low cliffs and scrub—slides past; beneath the surface, Posidonia meadows and rocky outcrops promise close encounters with octopus, groupers and colorful nudibranchs.
