You step off the quay as the sun warms the limestone cliffs of the Algarve and the boat’s engine hums a steady promise: two morning dives, two different sites, and a half-day in the sea. The air smells of salt and diesel; local fishermen slide nets onto morning boats while your crew runs through kit checks and the brief that will shape the next four hours.
