Philippe Cousteau- 2016 ISDHF Inductee

Philippe-Pierre Cousteau, Sr. was the second son of Jacques-Yves Cousteau and, working with his father, was a co-producer of numerous diving documentaries shown on TV around the world.
He was born in Toulon and took his first aqualung dive in 1945. In later years he became a pilot and a witness of the advance of science in the art of diving and underwater adventure. Working with his father he grew up traveling the world, learning about different cultures, and acquiring several languages. He became a documentary filmmaker specializing in environmental issues, with a background in oceanography. In February 1967, he accompanied his father on the RV Calypso for an expedition to film the sharks of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. As well as being the lead photographer for the expedition, Philippe also chronicled his experiences in the 1970 publication Shark: Splendid Savage of the Sea. Until his death in 1979, he co-produced numerous documentaries with his father, including Voyage to the Edge of the World (1976, for the cinema theatres) and his own PBS series, Oasis in Space (1977, for the television), concerning environmental issues.

I recommend the beautiful french Movie "The Oddyssey" The story of Jacques Cousteau Phillip Cousteau is very well played by Pierre Niney.

Philippe gave me my first diving lesson in his Beverly Hills home's swimming pool (July 1973). A few days later I drove a truck from L.A. to Saskatchewan, Canada for an expedition and film on Beavers. I later advanced my diving training and ultimately became a member of the Calypso dive team. ( I was aboard when John Denver visited. John gave us a wonderful concert on the foredeck of Calypso.) I write about all of this and more in my book Frogmen. Check out my non-profit, FutureFrogmen.org. We support education and exploration of what Captain Cousteau called "Our Water Planet". (We are also on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.)
