Salt spray and the soft drone of the outboard set the pace as the boat slips from Las Caleta marina toward Cozumel’s Costa. A harness is clipped, the chute snaps open, and the island shrinks below—Turquoise water, coral garden patterns, and the town of San Miguel stitched along the shoreline. At roughly 300 feet, the reef and shoreline read like a map: channels, sand flats and the darker palms of coral heads.
