The boat slips away from the pier and the mainland contracts into a palette of palm trunks and corrugated roofs. By mid-morning Canigao’s white sand sits like a bright stage against clear turquoise water; the reef drops away in visible bands, coral gardens crowding the shallow shelf where snorkelers float above a busy underwater city.
