Jacques Cousteau

Jacques-Yves Cousteau recognized that coral reef exoskeletons were composed of calcium carbonate dissolved CO2 production, thanks to his research in the underwater world, field not covered by marine biologists.

Assuming the incident actually took place it could very well have been attributible to what Cousteau had dubbed "the rapture of the deep", this is a condition related to nitrogen narcosis whereby most gasses breathed under pressure produce a narcotic effect on the brain. Hallucinations, loss of conciousness, manic laughter, terror or death are all possible effects from the condition which generally kicks in at a depth of 3om (1oo ft) with mild effects (often likened to drinking one alcholic beverage for each 3o ft below 1oo ft) increasing in severity as depth increases.

Divers attempt to combat this phenomena by using mixtures of gas with less chemically reactive constituents (such as helium) which is why in some old deep sea videos you might hear the entire crew of a research vessel speaking like chipmunks (and slathering all their food in kechup because they can't taste much else). There are limits to how much we can compensate under such pressures however and oxygen toxicity (which may pose long lasting health problems) is also another concern for the explorers of the deep.

I have heard this incident supposedly took place during a very deep dive, and there are those who like to attribute this tale to the existence of "Hell". While I suppose there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in my philosophy, and it would certainly be a really cool story (hey what if it was Hell, or some Great Old One or some type of ancient creature?!) I attempt first to seek out more mundane, entirely plausible explanations. They comfort me so.

Best of luck to you readers and do look into nitrogen narcosis or "The Rapture of the Deep" (trust Costuea to come up with such a great, poetic name), some of the stories from deep sea divers are truly fascinating.

It's not simple. Two pools in the same city may be 4-5 degrees different in temperature.

Essentially, I think you have to integrate outside temperature over time, add a correction for average below ground temperature, and add another correction for number of hours of direct sunlight and sun angle.

His many underwater films turned our television screens into a portal to the seas. A couple of them won Academy Awards. He co-developed the Aqualung.

There is no credible evidence to suggest that Jacques Cousteau heard terrifying screams from underneath the ocean. Cousteau was a renowned oceanographer, filmmaker, and explorer who focused on underwater exploration and conservation efforts.

yes he had two boys with his first wife and a son and a daughter with his second wife

Jacques Cousteau has written:

Simone Cousteau died on December 2, 1990, in Monaco of heart failure.

he was knwnas the gayest man in France, not that hard dumb $hit.
