Dive South Africa is proud to be part of Operation Zembe Written by Dive South Africa In 1995 leading South African marine archaeologist Bruno Werz found a hand axe whilst surveying a shipwreck in False Bay off Cape Town. This was identified as an Acheulean tool dating back 300 000 to a million years, oldest under sea find ever recorded, an archaeological oddity that raised a series of fascinating questions. Further brief explorations of this site over next few years revealed another hand axe and some pieces of animal bone.
