The boat slips from Hurghada’s marina and the city’s heat is left behind, the Red Sea opening like a bright sheet of glass ahead. Salt air pushes against the deck; the captain eyes a distant ride of fins and the guide taps a chart — Dolphin House is calling. Within an hour you’re anchored over shallow reefs, the water a graded blue, and the first snorkel jump becomes a quiet, urgent negotiation with the sea.
