You push off from a low wooden jetty on Gili Meno and the ocean pulls focus: clear, warm, and busy with color. The boat slips over shallow reef flats, and before long you’re briefing at Blue Coral—a compact patch of staghorn and brain coral where surgeonfish and bright wrasse swirl like a living mosaic.
