After three days of surveying, Heath and Andy share a final dive, capturing images of the reef together. Later, over a beer on deck, they reflect on their environmental fights—Andy’s work for the reef, and Heath’s battle against oil drilling in the Great Australian Bight.
Heath gestures to his sons and says to Andy, “Today, we enjoyed a beautiful day witnessing the thriving reef because someone like you stood up and gave it a voice." He pauses, and then, "I’d be devastated if they never got this experience.”
As the trip ends, Heath and his family prepare to return to their farm, but they leave with something more than just memories—the understanding that this extraordinary place is worth fighting for.
