- The sheer fun of playing with the new toys developed by Cousteau divers was so infectious that scuba, scooters and other gear exploded in popularity and the recreational diving industry was born. Half a century after The Silent World, vacationing hordes descend on reefs in such numbers that re-enacting the thrills of the films high jinks is forbidden—even to Cousteau divers. A sea turtle may be puzzled by one bubbling hitchhiker but its very survival can be threatened by swarms of curiosity-seekers.

-Le simple plaisir de se divertir avec les nouveaux jouets développés par les plongeurs de Cousteau a été si contagieux que la popularité des scaphandre autonomes, scooters et autres équipements a explosé, donnant naissance au secteur de la plongée de loisirs. Un demi-siècle après "Le Monde du silence", des hordes de touristes descendent sur les récifs et leur nombre est tel qu'il est aujourd'hui interdit de s'y amuser comme dans le film. Même pour les plongeurs Cousteau. Si une tortue de mer peut être surprise par un autostoppeur isolé qui fait des bulles, c'est sa survie qui est menacée par des nuées de curieux.
