The surface is a bright, flat mirror; below, a slow parade of yellow and silver fish threads through low coral ridges. Participants step down a short ladder into waist-deep water, swap a hooded sea-walking helmet over their heads and feel the world hush. For ten minutes the ocean becomes a room: currents nudge gently, fish circle like curious neighbors, and the full-face window frames reefs at arm’s length.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen to protect coral; apply ashore before the activity to avoid contaminating the water.
