John Denver was a guest in the 1970s. He wrote a lovely song about the Calypso.

he cared very much for the ocean and ecology. he was talking ecology way before it was a thing. he hated what was being done to our oceans.

“The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau” was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I learned so much from watching those programs as well as developing a love of nature.

I recently watched the movie "The Life Aquatic" by Wes Anderson and noticed it's very losely based off of Jaques life. A bit of a parody but a cute little tribute :)

Cousteau had a son who does this same work. I was very hopeful he would continue his father's tv show but it didn't happen. 😕

I’ve heard of this boat but I wasn’t familiar at all with it! But, this is what happens when you really didn’t pay much attention in high school then you should have! Facts 100!

GeGe, Many reasons are responsible for the teeming life, not just one. One is that the corals and algae can attach to the legs and grow at different depths. The food where there had been none before attract the smaller fish and so on. The legs also provide some protection from the currents, giving fish a chance to rest. Other reasons contribute. Each reason by itself might not be enough to produce the thriving communities. It is the meeting of all these reasons that prove how opportunistic nature is.

VH, I love David Attenborough. I especially love his shows on dinosaurs. To see him going at his age is remarkable. I'm going to cry when he dies. My son, who has autism will too. He loves all his shows and we watch them all the time.
