120 meters beneath the untamed coastline of South Africa resides an organism once presumed extinct for 65 million years-the coelacanth, affectionately known as Gombessa locally. This dinosaur fish, a living relic, stands as the sole connection bridging aquatic creatures to terrestrial tetrapods. Within its fins lie the origins of reptile and mammal leg bones! And let's not overlook the intriguing vestigial lung nestled at the rear of its substantial mouth.
A dedicated team of underwater explorers is set to capture unprecedented footage of these legendary fish. This undertaking promises both a distinctive human adventure and a scientifically noteworthy project.
