The sea smells clean and metallic as you step off the low pier; sunlight skirts the surface and the bay seems to breathe. Instructors run through kit beside a low stone harbor while small groups strap on masks and fins. Minutes later the shoreline fades and the Adriatic takes over, gently urging you deeper toward rock outcrops and swaying seagrass.
