As they prepared to say goodbye, personal conflicts and community tensions surfaced, including Martin's concerns about the presence of sharks and the controversial shark cage diving operations. A beautiful Charlie walked into Martin’s life for the better. Hannes launched a shark cage diving business to raise funds for Yolande's medical treatment, while Rebecca's hidden family secrets threatened to disrupt her relationship with Gavin after a new face, Amina, joined the Summertide community.
