Presents a biography of the Frenchman who helped invent the first self-contained breathing apparatus, diving saucers, and other advances, and whose accounts of his discoveries brought worldwide attention to the undersea environment.

French marine explorer Jacques Yves Cousteau is one of the most important figures in ocean exploration. Before Cousteau and fellow Frenchman Emile Gagnan invented the Aqua Lung in the mid 1940s, undersea divers were connected to their life oxygen through a long tube that limited the depth to which they could dive and the area of the ocean floor in which they could roam.

The Aqua Lung, a self contained breathing apparatus, allowed divers to take their own oxygen supply with them into the way and freed them to wander and explore the ocean floor.
