The boat hums away from San Pedro as the Caribbean opens like a bright, uninterrupted horizon. Salt air cuts sharp; the turquoise below moves with a slow, deliberate current that seems to dare you upward. Moments later the parachute blooms above the water and the island slips into a new geometry — reef lines, sand flats, and tiny motorboats reduced to dots.
