The boat slips free from Hurghada as the Red Sea opens into a wide ribbon of turquoise; salt-slick air pushes at your face and the horizon seems to promise coral gardens within reach. Onboard, the hum of the engine keeps time while the crew prepares gear — masks, fins, a simple safety briefing — and the shoreline of Orange Bay grows larger: white sand, shallow lagoons and reef crowns visible beneath glassy water.
