You push off from Hurghada's marina as the city shrinks behind you—wind sharp on your face, the Suzuki engine humming underfoot. In less than an hour the reef-topped silhouettes of Magawish, Giftun and Abu Minquar rise from the blue; the water changes from glassy aquamarine to a deep, reef-stippled navy. Dolphins often arc ahead of the bow, curious and quick.
