The boat slips free of the marina before sunrise and the Red Sea opens up—clear, warm, and demanding to be explored. Salt air sharpens the colors: coral heads rise like sculpted gardens, shoals of parrotfish flash turquoise, and the current tugs gently at your fins as you drop into a world that feels engineered for curiosity.
