The speedboat cuts through a blue-green corridor and, in minutes, the hull drops into calmer water where coral gardens sit shallow and bright. Children clip into floatation jackets, instructors run a short safety drill, and the reef edge becomes a living classroom—parrotfish picking at algae, soft corals swaying like slow flags, and the occasional nervous sea turtle gliding by.
