Morning light slices across the Red Sea as the boat slips away from Sharm El Sheikh, engines steady and deck already warming with sun. Within two hours the shoreline thins into open water and the Blue Lagoon appears—shallow, tropical, the reef edges begging for a first mask-down. Guests trade hotel towels for fins; the sea pulls them into pockets of color where coral heads rise like ruined walls and schools of fish part around a paddling hand.
