Cousteau Divers

The Cousteau Divers participative science program makes YOU an active agent of the study and protection of the oceans. With a very simple methods, you record your observations of marine life during your dive and then upload them on a site. This survey changes the way you dive as you open your mind to the surrounding ecosystem as you realize just how everything down there is interconnected. You are hunting for indicator species like a detective searching for clues of the health of the dive site. As you upload your survey, you are helping them gather a near real-time diagnosis of the ocean's health! This will allow them to visualize and respond to problems as they arise, targeting expeditions to help solve them, and inviting on board our best members as a reward for their participation. Cousteau Divers is also a large program of participatory science based on the creation of a network of divers. Affiliated diving centers are actively involved in scientific programs to monitor and conserve the marine biodiversity all around the World. Visit COUSTEAU DIVERS website and join a community of divers involved in the protection of our Water Planet. ~☼~ La Cousteau Society développe un vaste programme de science participative basée sur la création d'un réseau de plongeurs, les "Cousteau Divers". Regroupés autour d'un site Internet communautaire entièrement dédié au programme, les plongeurs Cousteau Divers et les centres de plongée affiliés participent activement à des programmes scientifiques de suivi et de Conservation de la biodiversité marine dans le Monde.

Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Adventures "Humpback Ballet"

In the warm protected waters of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, two thirds of the North Pacific humpback whale population come to compete and mate. In this short film, Cousteau divers use rebreathers to quietly film a pod of humpback whales. Their intimate experience is featured in "America's Underwater Treasures," a two-hour program and part of the series, Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Adventures shown on PBS. The crew anticipated their enormous size, but not the grace of their underwater ballet. Jean-Michel Cousteau Ocean Adventures is a co-production between Ocean Futures Society and KQED.

Bonne fête Capitaine COUSTEAU !

Jacques-Yves Cousteau was born on June 11, 1910, in Saint André de Cubzac, Gironde in France. One hundred years later, we are celebrating the anniversary of the man who made an indelible impression on our planet and its oceans.  When Captain Cousteau and his crew set sail on Calypso to explore the world, no one knew yet about the effects of pollution on marine ecosystems, of over-exploitation on resources and of manmade destruction on coastal zones.  The adventures of Calypso were captured on film and drew the public’s attention to the ecological disasters caused by human negligence. Captain Cousteau, through his work and his life, was a leader in environmental awareness. He left it to the Cousteau Society and Equipe Cousteau, the two not-for-profit organizations he founded, to continue his mission. ~☼~   Le 11 Juin 1910, Jacques Yves Cousteau naissait à Saint André de Cubzac en Gironde. Cent ans plus tard, nous célébrons l'anniversaire de celui qui a marqué pour toujours notre planète et ses océans.  Lorsque Cousteau et ses équipes s'embarquent sur la Calypso pour explorer le monde, on ne connaît pas encore les effets des polluants, de la surexploitation des ressources et de la dégradation mécanique des zones côtières sur les écosystèmes océaniques.  Les aventures de la Calypso mises en film, attirent l'attention du public sur le désastre écologique dû à la négligence humaine. Cousteau, par sa vie et son œuvre, fut un acteur majeur dans cette prise de conscience. Il a légué à The Cousteau Society et à l'Equipe Cousteau, ses deux organisation à but non-lucratifs, la mission de continuer.
