You step off a glass-bottom boat into a bowl of warm, clear water; sunlight slices through and the reef below seems to move with a life of its own. Sea turtles glide like old mariners, unbothered by the passing float of snorkelers, while the distant rim of Gili Trawangan frames a shoreline where bikes outnumber cars.
