The warm turquoise of Punta Cana presses close as the catamaran slips from the marina and the horizon opens—palm-fringed coastline to one side, a ribbon of reef to the other. On deck, the dive team lays out a custom "Will you marry me?" sign; beneath the surface, a small world of coral and curious reef fish waits, as if the sea itself is conspiring with the moment.
