Comments	Secret Bay in Gillimanuk is muck diving capital of Bali. Spent four days and nights diving Secret Bay. Aquamarine Diving (www.aquamarinediving.com) put us up at a local homestay, Nusantara Famili. Homestay provided all meals and 1/2 mile transport to and from Secret Bay shore dive facility. Nusantara Famili is very small place with only 4 or 5 air conditioned rooms for rent in a family compound. Much nicer than rooms available at the Secret Bay facility. Dive times are determined by tides. Dive only on incoming and high tide. When tide starts out vis really drops (<10 feet). We did 2 day and one night dive per day. Critters spotted include: several ghost pipe fish, numerous fogfish, schooling catfish, various crabs and shrimp, numerous species of lionfish and scorpion fish, bobbit worms, pegasus fish, wasp fish and numerous nudibranches. On most dives I managed to shoot two cameras full of film. Annabel of Aquamarine Diving took care of many logistical details for us to make trip go smoothly. Ramon the guide from Aquamarine was a nice guy and very service oriented.
