He developed the aqualung, pioneered marine conservation and was a member of the Acadamie francaise.

Cousteau liked to call himself an "oceanographic technician".

His work permitted many people to explore the resources of the "blue continent". His work also created a new kind of scientific communication, criticised at the time by some academics.
