A small boat rocks against the harbor as instructors load tanks and point toward the blue horizon. In minutes the shoreline slips away, cliffs and pine-scarred ridges shrinking behind you; the sea ahead is a plate of glass that dares you to descend. The first briefing is brisk—equipment checks, hand signals, and a measured calm that steadies the nervous and the curious alike.
