One day, a friend gave him a pair of goggles (护目镜).These goggles were a
game changer. He could finally see the wonderful world under the water clearly.
At that time, the diving clothes were big and heavy. They made it hard for
divers to move freely, and an air hose (软管) tied them to the boat. So
Cousteau and his friend Emile Gagnan invented the Aqua-Lung. It was the first
tool that allowed divers to breathe underwater for a long time. With this,
Cousteau was able to explore the ocean more freely.
He bought a boat on vacation and changed it into a place for research and
making films. He sailed around the world. He explored the cold waters of

Antarctica and saw many interesting animals like penguins and whales. In
Australia, he saw beautiful coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and even met the strange sea
dragon like a leaf.
Cousteau made a lot of books and films based on his travel and exploration
experiences. His TV show let people see the amazing sea animals at home. Also,
he started the Cousteau Society to teach people about the ocean and how to
protect it from pollution. Thanks to him, more and more people began to love
and care about the ocean.
