"This is the story of a simple man, his dreams, his adversities and his achievements.  It is the story of a glorious part of the world and his efforts to make that beauty available to countless numbers of people.
The Great Barrier Reef is the most magnificent and unique marine feature on this earth.  A wonderworld now reasonably accessible along its great length, but until recent years relatively remote.  The beauty of this section of the reef and the lovely Cumberland group of islands had to be available to those who sought their magic.  This was the challenge that Tom McLean accepted and this was the goal he achieved."
