You step onto the launch platform with the lagoon hissing beneath you, the pilot checking straps and the sea sending a cool, saline scent up your nose. The jetpack’s roar is immediate — a mechanical heartbeat that answers the water’s dare. A few breaths, a short radio briefing in your helmet, and you’re lifted: thirty feet (about 9 meters) above Nichupté Lagoon, the city shrinking into a line of hotels while mangroves tug at the shoreline below.
