well i think he explored because if we are talkibng about the same cousteau he was researching whales.

That is not the only reason. He was in the French Navy when he first dove with goggles, and he thought it was so awesome, he continued to invent diving gear etc. He explored to learn about the ocean, and later he turned to environmental protection.

Jacques Cousteau was a famous deep sea explorer. He was married twice, first to Simone Cousteau, and then to Francine Cousteau until his death. He had four children, Jean Michel, Phillipe, Diane, and Pierre Yves Cousteau.

I believe that she is in the new Geico commercial that features the singing dog and bird.Hit it Mr.Butters!!!

Jacques Cousteau was a famous French undersea explorer. He made many documentaries and co-invented the aqualung-otherwise known as the scuba. he was born on 11 June 1910 and died on 25 June 1997.

Sorry to say he did not invent the "one man submarine." The first "one man" submarine was invented and tested in 1620 by Cornelius Drebbel. David Bushnell then designed and used a military type one man submarine in 1775, called "The Turtle."

Jacques-Yves Cousteau (June 11th, 1910 - June 25th, 1997) was a French naval officer, explorer, ecologist, scientist, innovator, film-maker, photographer, author, and researcher whose innate, insatiable curiosity led him to a lifetime of studying the world's oceans and seas and all forms of life in, around, AND above water. 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). Worldwide, he is commonly known as Jacques Cousteau or Captain Cousteau.

he got his degree in something... i dont know. Sorry!

Alexandra Cousteau (born 1976) is the granddaughter of world famous French explorer and filmmaker Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the daughter of his son Philippe. An environmentalist, she is the founder and president of Blue Legacy International, dedicated to advocating the importance of conservation and sustainable management of water resources in order to preserve a healthy planet.

As a young child Cousteau was sickly and anemic. When he was in high school he was expelled for breaking seventeen windows.

Jacques-Yves Cousteau was a famous marine explorer who died on 25 June, 1997. He invented the Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, or SCUBA for short.

He was in the french navy as agunnery officer and capitaine de covette, ina t.v. series but mainly came up with organazations that helped marine life. Most people think that he was a marine bioligost.

In the case of the British, it was the desire to conquer more lands and increase the size of the British Empire. They were particularly keen to prevent France from laying claim to more lands. The Dutch and Portuguese often explored new land they came across by accident whilst trading with Asia and the East Indies. Some sought simply to be the first to make a particular journey, gaining fame and fortune. The Australian explorers Burke and Wills fall into this category. Others desperately needed new land. This was the motivation behind the first Australian crossing of the Blue Mountains, by Lawson, Wentworth and Blaxland. Continuing on from this, others sought still more fertile lands that could be settled - many Australian explorers such as Sturt and Cunningham explored for this reason. For some, it was just the excitement of the unknown: finding a river and wishing to trace it to its source, or climbing a mountain just because it was there.

An aqualung is comprised of two parts - the tank, and then regulator.

The tank simply contains highly compressed gas. The regulator reduces the pressure of that gas to a level which is breathable by the diver for a particular depth.

In a normal Aluminium diving cylinder, the breathing gas (usually plain air) will be compressed to about 3,000 PSI (200 bar).

The regulator has two stages, the first stage (the bit that gets attached to the tank), and the second stage (the bit that the diver puts in her mouth). The first stage will reduce the air pressure coming from the tank from 3,000 PSI down to about 300 PSI (20 bar). This air then flows down the hose to the second stage. The second stage then reduces the pressure from 300 PSI to the ambient pressure at the diver's depth (the deeper a diver goes, the greater the ambient pressure). Accordingly, no matter how deep a diver goes, the air will be delivered as pressure which enables her to breathe normally despite the water pressure on her body.

The regulator works by way of a demand valve. When the diver inhales, that lowers the pressure in the second stage housing. This opens the demand valve, and higher pressure air flows in from system. Once the air pressure in the house is restored to equilibrium, the demand valve closes.

If the regulator starts to malfunction, it can either deliver air at too low a pressure (so it will become hard to breathe) or too high a pressure (the regulator will "free flow" with bubble coming out).

The Captain was enthralled by the vast resources that we so blithely take for granted. He was dedicated to inspiring everyone to rise to a caretaker's level of consciousness regarding our planet, beginning with the sea.

One of the many things Jacques Cousteau is famous for is the creation of scuba gear. Scuba stands for : Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

He invented the aqualung.

Jaques Cousteau was very active during the 50s 60s and 70s then his son took over the "Calypso" after his death

He discovered that, at first, they are afraid of humans in the water. Then they circle warily... they will nudge cautiously... then they will dine voraciously.

If they don't keep moving, they drown. If they are flipped over onto their backs, they are hypnotized and become instantly docile.

The term 'White Continent' was used in the title of a book by historian Thomas R. Henry who wrote about Antarctica. Antarctica is situated almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle.
