I am sick of hate and war, and killing,

[tubby61]

i used to work in sharm and i can disagree with some of the statements about divers throwing rubbish over the side of the boat onto reefs most rubbish comes from normal holiday makers so what these people are saying about the reef is total rubbish i have seen the reef at middle garden destroyed by buiding work then several years later start regrowing

[Somartefact]

In "THE SILENT WORLD" (1956) see how Cousteau used to take a sample of species on a spot. "It's illegal and it's very very bad to fish with dynamite but since we are scientist it's ok"

I particularly like the agonizing puffer fish on a heap of fish cadavers scene, with a "siegfried has vanquished the dragon" kind of music.

Very beautiful and gentle for "HER"

@Somartefact It wasn't that he was a scientist that made it ok. The thing was that they really didn't know and understand the impact they made at that point. So although by today's standards this was unacceptable, by the standards of the time what he was doing was fine. He was the pioneer of underwater exploration and marine studies, overall a hugely positive impact on the basis of what we know about the subject today.

[Somartefact]

@AceLockCo, you're right, i assume it's a bite rough, and that it was a different era. I grew up having great moments watching the amazing documentaries of cousteau on french tv. And i know very well his worth as a ground breaking engineer, scientist, and explorer.

My commentary was a half iconoclastic, half a joke.^^

cheers

After Captain Cousteau passed on. there really has not been any thing since this explorations and keen interest? The news dosent cover much on todays conquests etc. We ask a return to research and once again a much need person to step forwards and contine where our Captain Cousteau left off. Merci,J.Goudeau

The sinking of the tank, righteous.

That thank will house hundreds maybe thousands of different species of coral. and give fish a home/protection.

right on biltaji!

[picaza66]

great, love it ,really cool

[PrincessSasi]

We took a lesson about Jacques Yves Cousteau in my English Book =] He's a great man =) I heard he turned muslim before he dies, is that true? cuz I am a muslim too :P

[procommenter]

"In order to stabilize world population, it is necessary to eliminate 350,000 people a day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it's just as bad not to say it." — Oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, as quoted in "The Courier," a publication of the U.N. Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (U.N.E.S.C.O.)

[alpacks]

no it's wrong, just proselyte muslim say that and big rumour in France, but he's family and the Cousteau foundation officially denies it with force !

JY Cousteau was born christian but he was especially atheist

[alpacks]

the polemical is born in fact when it studied the levels of saltiness of water of the estuaries of rivers, confirming simply some purposes of the Koran, but which are only practical observations, under any circumstances religious proof ...

JY COUSTEAU has never become a convert has Islam

[waarikwandel]

salem alikum

i heard that too, but ofcourse many would denie when it is true

[waarikwandel]

he discovered that what is described in the Qurán about the seperations of seas with different water that doesnt mix, logical result he turned to Islam

[Berkcam]

@PrincessSasi No, J-Y Cousteau was a devout Catholic and remained so all his life.

[GodKillerAtheist]

@Berkcam He was born catholic but he thought of everyone like he was an Atheist. Equal.

Little squid, little squid, whale do you go?

[metalorg]

Very interesting and nostalgic of the old Cousteau movies, but the smooth Jazz music and the circle of diving friends is really way too sappy. I love the shot with the row of red caps drying on the railing.

[unpinoy]

many thanks metalorg for leading me to this channel! :-)

[sealion1962]

The anti shark cages @ 44:35 are a reminder to us that even Jacques Cousteau did not know everything then. Today divers dive freely among sharks without fear. Our knowledge must continue. We must do all possible to stop civilization from destroying itself with hydrocarbons.

[pietrovaldes]

this is such a great video and great teaching about the marine world

[Virgilitron]

i remember reading the Cousteau Encyclopedia, my father still as it.

[thecrackmaster]

thnx, great video

[nietzscheADHD]

[twentyfivenhot]

Tnkx a lot for sharing this

[omnipositounum]

This is awesome! Very well done! keep posting more of this

[Artsionparas]

I wouldn't be divingn without the influence of Cousteau.

[colum1977]

[paulric75]
