The Revillagigedo Archipelago, known for its biodiversity, is also home to an extraordinary story of friendship between sailor Terry Kennedy and a giant Pacific manta ray named Willy. Their relationship began in December 1988, with unforgettable underwater adventures. The bond endured despite the years, ultimately inspiring the documentary 'The Last Dive,' which charts Kennedy's journey to reconnect with Willy. Filmmaker Cody Sheehy emphasizes that the film hopes to inspire new generations to cherish the ocean, akin to the emotional storytelling seen in 'The Octopus Teacher.'
I just had to get in the water just to see him... I looked straight down and he was coming up underneath me.
Cody Sheehy hopes that showing the film will inspire a whole new generation to fall in love with the ocean.
Willy took Kennedy around the underwater volcanic peaks and as far as two miles, only to always return Kennedy to his boat.
Their unlikely friendship will be explored in a new documentary called The Last Dive.
