He inspired a generation about life under the sea, transporting
audiences from our living rooms, to thousands of miles around the
globe, thousands of feet beneath the surface.
Jacques Cousteau was first among explorers, on his ship the
Calypso, taking us with him, on every adventure.
For him, almost everything was possible, conquering a sickly
childhood and a devastating car crash to become one of the
world's foremost explorers, and possibly its most famous
Frenchman.
He challenged modern technology to keep up with his dreams --
inventing the aqualung, to go deeper underwater than ever before.
Cousteau challenged governments to stop polluting the ocean --
his second home -- and start taking better care of the
environment, his voice speaking out for the farthest reaches of
the earth.
Cousteau SOT "The future of mankind...bound with Antarctica.."
His work brought him both renown, and tragedy -- his son and heir
apparent Philippe was killed in a seaplane crash (in 1979). His
other son Jean-Michel continues Jacques Cousteau's work, mindful
of his father's warning to the world: The future of civilization
depends on water. I beg you to understand this.
