The catamaran glides away from the east Puerto Rico shore and the town of Fajardo shrinks to a line of roofs; salt air pushes at your face and palms lean toward the water as the boat points to Cayo Icacos and nearby Palomino Island. White sand waits like an unmarked page and the reef beyond hums with color 18–25 feet below—parrotfish, damsels, and the occasional ray curiously inspecting surface movement.
