A small panga slips free of the marina and the bay opens into a room of green-blue water. Wind tugs at the canopy, salt lifts onto your face, and the jagged outline of the Marietas Islands rises like a low, dark promise on the horizon. Boats ease into protected coves; fins and paddles scrape the surface as people prepare to enter water so clear it reads like glass.
