He was instrumental in the development of the Aqua-Lung, without which the sport of SCUBA diving would be unknown in today's world. He was a masterful pioneer in the field of marine conservation and was a member of the Académie Française. Cousteau was born in Saint-André-de-Cubzac, Gironde, (France) to Daniel and Élisabeth Cousteau. He is generally known in France as "le Commandant Cousteau" (Commander Cousteau).
