You step off the boat and the Red Sea opens like a living map: glassy blue shallows give way to steep coral walls, and the water smells faintly of salt and sun-warmed algae. Whether you enter from shore or from a skippered dive boat, each descent feels deliberate—suspended in warm water, following a guide through coral gardens and canyon cuts where reef fish weave around your fins.
