The boat eases out of the harbor by sunrise and the sea opens like a map—shallow coral gardens giving way to drop-offs and the rusted shapes of shipwrecks. On this two‑tank morning run, certified divers leave the crowded north for quieter southern reefs named Anchor, Barcadera and Mangel Halto, and special sites like the Jane C wreck and the Airplanes.
