The boat eases out of Sosúa Bay and the shore slips away: a low, sugar-sand curve, fishermen hauling small nets, and the first pale ribbon of reef visible beneath crystal water. Your guide points to a shallow coral garden where parrotfish and sergeant majors flit like living brushstrokes; the current here is gentle, the water warm enough to make every breath feel like an invitation.
