The first light you notice on a night shore dive is not the stars but the beam of your own torch cutting through warm, ink-dark water. At Mangel Halto, your light becomes the map: coral heads bloom under it, seagrass beds flatten into shadow, and small eyes catch and hold the beam before disappearing.
