Jacques Cousteau
Aqualung's French inventor
Jacques Cousteau was a French ocean explorer, filmmaker, and conservationist who popularized marine science through documentary films and television.
He co-developed the Aqua-Lung, making scuba diving widely accessible.
His ship *Calypso* and red knit cap became iconic.
The name evokes underwater exploration and environmental advocacy: He fancies himself a Jacques Cousteau type.
