The boat slips free from the harbor and the Red Sea opens like a bright, moving plain; the breeze pulls at your shirt and the deck smells of salt and frying fish. Ahead, the shallows at the Dolphin House gather dolphins like an invitation—sleek backs slicing the sunlit water, curious and quick. You anchor, suit up, and slip into warm blue where currents nudge you toward a pod and the reef blooms beneath your mask.
