Terry is a legendary figure in Baja Mexico, an American veteran who has spent decades living on, and in, the water. Once a man burdened by a troubled past, Terry’s life was transformed by an unlikely friendship with Willy, a 22-foot oceanic manta ray. For nearly two decades, Willy would slap his wings against the hull of Terry’s sailboat to signal their next dive, and together they explored the ocean’s depths, creating an extraordinary bond that turned Terry into an unexpected conservationist.

Now in his 80’s, Terry embarks on one final journey to a remote island in hopes of reuniting with his old friend. But he’s also searching for something deeper: peace, closure, and a chance to say goodbye.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Cody Sheehy and produced by acclaimed Mark Monroe, The Last Dive is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant documentary that invites viewers to reflect on our connection to the natural world and the wild, mysterious creatures that help us find our place in it.

Drinks, snacks, and chance-to-win items (including a discover scuba course at a $200 value with Eco Dive Center) will be available for purchase at the door. All donations and proceeds will benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
