Jacques Cousteau
Known for his memorable films and written accounts of the underwater world, 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 coinventor of the aqualung, a self-contained breathing apparatus. He is pictured here aboard his ship Calypso.
