The morning begins before the sun warms the Bali horizon: a fast-boat slip from Sanur cuts through teal water toward Nusa Penida, and the ocean seems to pull you forward. At Manta Point the sea takes on personality — currents nudging, upwellings lifting plankton that in turn call the mantas. Floating here, you watch wings the size of doors sweep past beneath you.
