Jacques Yves Cousteau. A man who showed the seabed to the world

When a person stands on the shore, he is always interested in what is hidden in the seabed? Some dive to see what is there, some just stay on shore, but there are people like Jacques Yves Cousteau. This person devoted almost all his life to finding out for himself and to show others what secrets and beauties hides the ocean floor. The car accident, because of which he could not continue his service in the army, allowed him to find a world that is much more interesting than what is on land, which before it was almost unexplored.

Perhaps the most outstanding achievement is the invention of an aqualung. This allowed everyone to look at the beautiful pictures of the underwater life. Aqualungs in recent years have not undergone any special changes, their design remains almost the same as that of the first specimens. But, nevertheless, they are practical and safe.

But on this Jacques Yves Cousteau did not stop. At the age of 40 he bought a ship called Calypso, equipped him with a science ship and set out on his longest voyage, which lasted almost seven years. He not only did research, but also filmed films in parallel. Two of his paintings even received an Oscar. The seabed was for Kusto's house. It was on the expedition that he continued his inventive activity. Together with his sons, he designed a whole series of bathyscaphes to explore the seabed in places where it had previously been impossible.

The film "Underwater odyssey of the Cousteau team" was loved by several generations. After all, the seabed, photos and films about which Cousteau showed, was really exciting. Here there was no violence, but only a simple, but fascinating life of underwater inhabitants. Such pictures before no one showed. Viewers could watch how they make a new discovery in the field of biology or archeology, and could not take their eyes off the screen. Jacques Yves Cousteau was not only an inventor, but also an excellent director. He could show the most difficult scientific discovery so that everyone understood it. To show all this to viewers, he also had to invent a camera for underwater photography, which is used almost unchanged until now.

Even those who are not interested in the ocean still remember the name of the great man and what Jacques Yves Cousteau was. Much of what the seabed concealed was shown to them around the world. He made a great contribution to the world culture and the understanding that it is necessary to protect the oceans, so that future generations too can look at the wonderful pictures that hide under the water column.

Although Cousteau devoted almost all of his life to the sea, it keeps many more puzzles that mankind has to guess. After all, only a small part of the oceans and seas have been explored at the moment.

Mankind can destroy much better than create. And this threatens the fact that the seas can be emptied, and we will never see those beautiful paintings that hide in the ocean basins. Some species of flora and fauna may die before scientists find them. It remains to be hoped that soon another person will appear who can continue to tell the world about underwater inhabitants.
