The sea smells of salt and sun; gulls wheel as the captain outlines the route past the Bastions, the Angevin and Aragonese castles, and the cliffside chapel of Montagna Spaccata. In an hour the boat slips into a pocket of turquoise water at Pozzo del Diavolo and the 40 Remi: a natural pool framed by limestone inlets where the only sounds are snorkel bubbles and the exhale of the Mediterranean.
