More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
When the hull of the Immersion cuts through the blue, the reef appears as a living map beneath you—patches of coral, pale sand channels and the slow arc of a turtle cruising the shallows. Guests step from the boat into warm, clear water and are met by coral gardens busy with parrotfish, rays that glide like dark flags, and the occasional inquisitive reef shark.
