We weren’t the only ones at the reef embracing its beauty. All of us had the same intentions that day. We geared up with our equipment to begin our adventure exploring the oceans reef.

That temperature was driven up by Global Warming and what day it was- The Summer Solstice. Normally, Lucas would only go outside today for a few minutes, and following schedule, he had been inside for the rest of the day except for now.
