If there is one person who single-handedly fascinated
millions of landlocked viewers to venture underwater into the unknown,
through television, it is the Frenchman Jacques Cousteau. Jacques-Yves
Cousteau was born on June 11, 1910, in the town of St.-Andre-de-Cubzac
near Bordeaux, in France, to Daniel and Elizabeth Cousteau.
As
a child, Jacques was quite sickly but he nonetheless learned to swim at
the age of four. His initial dip led to his everlasting love for the
sea. He was also very curious about machines. At the age of 13, Cousteau
saved his pocket money to buy a movie camera. The first thing he did
was to take it apart to see how it worked! He shot films around the
house and credited it with "J Cousteau" director and chief cameraman.
