The sun hangs low over turquoise water as Reel Bouys slips through the outer reef, engines humming and a mild salt breeze cutting the heat. You feel the boat pivot as the captain finds a quiet anchorage; lines are baited and the deep blue below seems to tug with possibility. This is Providenciales in the late afternoon—a window when fish move closer to shallower structure and the light flatters every ridge on the reef.
