The boat slips away from the motu and the lagoon opens like a sheet of glass; sunlight fractures into a dozen aquamarine hues as your guide straps a Seabob into your hands. You push the throttle and the device answers—smooth, silent, immediate—skimming the surface before diving toward coral gardens where parrotfish and wrasse weave through bommies that dare you to follow.
