The boat slips away from Galle's weathered harbor and the sea opens its own register: a blue that narrows and deepens as the coastline drops away. You stand on deck with regulator and mask, the briefing still warm in your ears, watching the captain pick a pair of sites—often a wreck and a rocky pinnacle—each with a different character and current.
