Our world, the big blue planet, two thirds covered by ocean all connected to each other, amazing isn’t it?
Those of us that are divers spend a great deal of time either in the ocean or thinking about being in the ocean, blowing bubbles. We owe a great deal of that time to a man that most of use have heard of, but only know a small part of that story.
On the 11th of June 1910 the a family welcomed into the world a child, that would grow up to become the co-founder of a little company called, Aqua Lung Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
He also became a diving advocate and advocate to our oceans and exploration of them.
Something you may not know about Jacques Cousteau is that his ambition was to become a fighter pilot for the French Air Force. but do to a automobile accident, which left him with out the use of one arm and the other arm badly damaged, he was removed from the Air Force Academy and sent to sea duty, his dream of flying shattered he became a flier of a different kind, he excelled in the underwater world and became arguable the most famous underwater explorer in history.
We as divers have not given up on the exploration of our oceans and many divers are now helping those divers with disabilities explore the underwater world we love so much. through programs like DiveHeart , PVA, and others.
