- The story of the Coelacanth is a story of discovery. Once considered to have gone extinct approximately 65 million years ago when dinosaurs last roamed the earth, the 1938 discovery of a specimen hauled in by fishermen off the coast of South Africa was unprecedented.
The Coelacanth first discovered 83 years ago in East London was a miraculous find, but it was not until many years later, in 1987 that the first live specimen was observed in the waters of the Comoro Islands.
On 22 November 2019 Wreckless Divers at a depth of 69 meters discovered and filmed a live Coelacanth in the Umzumbe Canyon on the south coast of Kwazulu-Natal. Video: Bruce Henderson
