A morning out of Hurghada opens with the boat cutting through glass-calm Red Sea and the city shrinking behind you. The horizon brightens as you pass low, rocky islets; by mid-morning the captain drops anchor off Paradise Island and the water dares you to jump in. Two scheduled snorkel stops take you over shallow coral gardens where parrotfish polish holes in reef and, if you are lucky, a sea turtle glides like a slow submarine beneath you.
