The film crew are off with the local fisher to film and I\u2019m preparing myself to depart.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>Whenever I leave a reef system I make the time for one last snorkel. It\u2019s a chance to be deliberately mindful, to take it all in and to marvel. If God created these places then they must have been in a rush that day &#8211; dumping every crazy creature idea and ludicrous colour combination in one spot instead of testing each first and carefully mapping it all out. Somehow, it works.<\/span><span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>I never know if I\u2019ll be back, and I never know if the reef will still be here if I am. Anyone who thinks I\u2019m overstating things should Google \u201c2023 marine heatwave\u201d or \u201cBarrier Reef bleaching\u201d.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>My last hour in the water is breathtaking. The visibility is amazing and the reef is vibrant and teeming with life. A juvenile batfish takes a shine to me and follows and photo bombs at every opportunity, and angry clown fish charge out to meet me whenever I get too close. My dive computer freaks out when I free dive to 20 feet and then shoot to the surface. And when I get out I walk along a jetty and spot an endemic walking shark, the first time I\u2019ve seen one here in daylight.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>I say goodbye to my French colleagues who are visiting a home stay for lunch and head back to the main boat.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>The goodbyes with The SEA People are too short and heartfelt. Our fierce and funny captain, Yos, gives me a big hug. Piet and Roy shake hands and I make a ceremonial presentation of the fishing rod. The worst goodbyes are last but eventually I let go of Lynn <\/span><span>and Arnaud and hitch a ride on a local dive centre\u2019s speed boat that\u2019s bound for Sorong.<\/span><span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><span><br \/><\/span><strong><br \/><\/strong>We zoom through the Dampier Strait and I realise how much it\u2019s changed in the last eight years.

When I first came to the Strait there were villages here and there, with just the occasional resort or home stay in-between.<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>There\u2019s a famous dive site in this area called \u2018Blue Magic\u2019 where the oceanic mantas come to clean. The site itself housed spectacular corals as well in its day.\u00a0 The last time I dived it was about six years ago when I watched a tourist ram his tripod into the coral so he could get a better shot.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>A Papuan friend told me a few years back that the site was \u201cnow only blue, no more magic\u201d. Go figure.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>As the speedboat pounds its way to Sorong I\u2019m thinking again about the balance between tourism and development here. <strong>I hope this place never becomes the mini-Maldives but it feels like it\u2019s heading that way, minus the seaplanes (so far).
