The experience

The sun was barely up when we hopped onto the speedboat, salt air already sticking to my skin. Our guide, local guy named Marcus, handed out masks and fins, joking about how the dolphins sometimes race the boat. I could hear reggae from a fishing boat nearby, and a pelican swooped low as we pulled away from the dock.

First stop: a patch of reef where turtles glide right under you if you float quietly enough. The water’s so clear you can see every ripple of sand below. At the second site, I caught sight of a manta ray flapping by: honestly, it looked like it was flying underwater. Marcus pointed out some coral that locals call “brain coral”. It really does look like one. Between spots, we sipped cold drinks while swapping stories with other travelers. The last snorkel point had schools of tiny blue fish darting everywhere. I lost track of time just drifting along.
