The Mediterranean surface breaks into pockets of glass as you step off the rocky shore at Cala Vidre, the air smelling of salt and sun. Your instructor clips on your kit, checks your mask, and guides you down a short ladder; beneath, light filters through seagrass meadows and the first shimmer of fish scatter like startled coins.
