The day begins with the surf tapping a steady rhythm against White Beach as a PADI instructor clips gear into a dive boat and calls out names. Shade from a coconut frond cools the waiting group; the sea ahead is the color of hammered glass, and the reef just offshore catches light like a sunken garden daring you to breathe differently.
