You step onto a low-slung catamaran and the Caribbean immediately sets the tempo—warm trade winds tug at the awning while the hull parts turquoise water that dares you to dive in. Over three hours the crew alternates DJ-style merengue and bachata with practical instruction: masks fit, fins on, and a guide points to a ribbon of coral teeming with parrotfish and angelfish.
