- Jacques Cousteaus 1965 film World Without Sun swept theater audiences into the Conshelf II experiment in underwater living. On board Alcyone, one aquanaut returns to the site: Claude Wesly. Five aquanauts lived in the Starfish House at 36 feet for a month, and two others stayed lower down in the Deep Cabin at 90 feet for a week, working as deep as 165 feet. The success of the mission opened the doors to hyperbaric stations that allow people to operate today much longer and deeper than they can in surface-to-surface dives. Although most of the structures were removed after the experiment, the Sea Urchin, a hangar for the Diving Saucer, remains on the sea floor as a living tribute to those underwater pioneers.

- Le film de Jacques Cousteau, "Le Monde sans soleil" (1965), avec l'expérience "Précontinent II", a entraîné le public dans la vie sous la mer . A bord de l'Alcyone, un "océanaute" retourne sur le site : Claude Wesly. Cinq océanautes ont vécu pendant un mois dans la Grande Maison, une étoile de mer à 10 mètres de profondeur, et deux autres dans la Station profonde à 27 mètres sous l'eau pendant une semaine, sachant qu'ils descendaient jusqu'à 50 mètres pour travailler. Le succès de cette mission a ouvert la voie aux stations hyperbares qui permettent aujourd'hui d'aller plus profond et de rester beaucoup plus longtemps sous l'eau qu'au cours des plongées classiques où l'on part de la surface pour y revenir. Bien que la plupart de ces structures aient été enlevées après l'expérience, l'Oursin, un hangar pour la Soucoupe plongeante, est resté au fond de la mer comme un hommage à ces pionniers sous-marins.
