Sea spray dots your shoulders; a bilingual guide scans the water and points—an errant eagle ray arcs like a question mark—while the reef ahead seems to pull the boat forward with its color. By the time you cut through Isla Mujeres’ northern fringe the air smells of salt, grilled fish and citrus from the ship’s buffet line, and the day turns into a sequence of salt, birdsong and shallow-water wonder.
