What a pleasure it was to meet Pierre-Yves Cousteau on November 16th at The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL! I apologize for the quality of the video. The lighting wasn't cooperating with my camera :)

PIERRE-YVES COUSTEAU VISITS ST. PETERSBURG TO ANNOUNCE U.S. LAUNCH OF COUSTEAU DIVERS
WED. NOV. 16th AT 10:30 AM INSIDE THE DALI MUSEUM 'S RAYMOND JAMES COMMUNITY ROOM

WHO: Pierre-Yves Cousteau, President, Cousteau Divers - Born in 1982 in Paris , France. Pierre-Yves Cousteau is the youngest son of the legendary Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Pierre-Yves Cousteau studied Biochemistry and Space Science (both at Masters level) before working as intern for NASA and Scientific Coordinator Trainee for the European Space Agency. A diving instructor in training and passionate photographer, Pierre-Yves Cousteau created Cousteau Divers, a global online platform for marine conservation, in 2010.

WHAT: Announces - The Launch of Cousteau Divers in the U.S. http://www.cousteaudivers.org

Pierre-Yves Cousteau recently explained: "We are a non-profit organization dedicated to uniting divers worldwide to help study and protect marine life. The information and images that divers upload on our website help us monitor the health of our oceans in near real-time. With this knowledge we can help create marine sanctuaries, influence public opinion and react locally to alerts, acting as an immune system for the sea."

"Divers and snorkelers are the only people in the world who witness the state of the oceans on a daily basis. Cousteau Divers is a worldwide community of ocean lovers united to become active protectors of marine life. Cousteau Divers is structured around three major axes: Science, Community and Multimedia, and one word: Interactivity. For each of these three areas of activity, you nourish the website with your own observations. In return, the website provides you with scientific information, a lively community of ocean lovers and continually updated, digitized, tradable multimedia material from the enormous Cousteau image library." www.cousteaudivers.org
