Morning light slices the Red Sea into lanes of glass as the boat eases away from the jetty in Sharm El Sheikh. Below, shallow coral bommies catch sun like fractured mosaics; above, a low Sinai ridge keeps the wind honest. Onboard, the glass viewing panels turn the hull into a quiet cinema of fish and coral — parrotfish gnawing at reef faces, anemone-cloaked clownfish darting among tentacles, a solitary green sea turtle cruising on slow, mechanical grace.
