Jacques Cousteau

Jacques Cousteau
Known for his memorable films and written accounts of the underwater world, the French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau devoted much of his life to exploring and defending ocean life. Cousteau developed the first underwater diving station and was also a co-inventor of the aqualung. This self-contained breathing apparatus allows divers to range freely under the water’s surface for long periods.
