You step off an air‑conditioned minivan before dawn, the harbor light still low as the crew hustles kit onto a high‑speed boat. The morning sea smells of salt and warm stone; the boat cuts a steady 45‑minute line to the first site. Manta Point often greets snorkelers with graceful wings—mantas that glide just below the surface and pause at cleaning stations, while smaller fish nudge at their bellies like attentive attendants.
