The engine thumps beneath your feet as the marina recedes and the Red Sea opens blue and wide. Salt air pushes at your jacket and the captain points toward a horizon where choices diverge: a white-sand spit, a coral garden, a quiet cay, or a swirl of wild dolphins. In four hours you move from fitted marina docks to shallow turquoise, where water invites and reef ridges sketch the seafloor.
