By mid-morning the guides have the gear sorted — masks polished, tanks checked — and a line of snorkelers edges into water that moves from aquamarine to cobalt in a single breath. Fish thread through the coral as if following an invisible current, and submerged sculptures rise like modern ruins to attract grouper and curious divers.
