A salt-wet breeze slaps the boat's rail as the jetty at Sharm el-Maya dissolves behind you. The sea opens wide and the captain points the bow toward Ras Mohammed; the ride is about an hour, with the occasional dolphin cutting the horizon like a punctuation mark. When the engine slows and the first mask slips on, the Red Sea pulls you under with bright coral gardens and sudden drop-offs that push currents against your fins.
