The boat nudges away from Kusadası marina and the Aegean opens like a dare: blue water, a salt smell, and a low limestone coastline that has seen traders for millennia. Instructors brief the group on deck, regulators click, and one at a time divers ease over the rail into clear, shallow water where reefs and rocky ledges sit between 4–6 meters below the surface. Between dives the boat becomes a sun-soaked platform for snorkeling and cooling off.
