A small boat eases away from Hurghada’s marina as the sun cuts the Red Sea into a wash of silver. Instructors move through gear with the calm of routine while the coastline shrinks; the boat’s diesel hum becomes a steady companion. After a short cruise you’ll slip beneath a glassy surface into warm water, coral gardens rising like submerged cliffs and schools of parrotfish fanning away as you approach.
