120 metres down off the wild coast of South Africa lives an animal once thought to have been extinct for 65 million years - the cœlacanth, locally known as Gombessa.
A dinosaur fish, a living fossil, that remains the only link connecting fish to terrestrial tetrapods: its fins contain the beginning of reptile and mammal leg bones! And what about the vestigial lung found at the back of its huge mouth?
A team of underwater explorers will film these legendary fish like never before. A unique human adventure and a media-worthy scientific project.
