The engine clicks into life at Coral Sea Marina and the bay wakes: salt tang on the air, Sea‑Doos idling like impatient animals. Riders file a short safety briefing, then glide off across the glassy shallows toward islands that rise like green shapes against a blue horizon. The water pushes and pulls the craft; the guide sets a steady pace and points out beaches, reef bommies and a turtle slipping beneath the surface.
