You arrive at the meeting point on Ctra Arenal just as the morning light flattens the bay; the shuttle hums for 15 minutes and drops you at a low rocky cove where the guide checks masks and points to a calm cut in the reef. The water is clear enough to read the contours of the seabed; Posidonia meadows ripple like a green field below the surface and small damsel fish dart through broken rock.
