A thin swell slides under the bow as the harbor falls away and the shoreline of eastern Bali tightens into a picture of coral-studded shallows. You step onto a small boat and the engine murmurs; within half an hour the water turns the vivid blue that gives Blue Lagoon its name. Masks descend to faces, fins flex, and the reef takes over—garden-like corals, darting parrotfish and the occasional green turtle cruising like an afterthought.
