The late-afternoon sun gilds the water as the boat slips away from Fajardo’s marina, engines softening and the horizon opening to a scatter of cays. Salted air pulls at your hair, and the crew briefs the group while flotation vests bob like small islands on deck; minutes later the first mask breaks the surface and a world below answers the call.
