Old page wikitext, before the edit (old_wikitext ) | ''''Philippe Cousteau''' (December 30, 1940 – June 28, 1979) was a documentary film maker specializing in environmental issues, with a background in [[oceanography]]. He was the second son of [[Jacques-Yves Cousteau]] and [[Simone Cousteau]].
Born in [[Toulon]], Philippe Cousteau first dived with an [[aqua-lung]] in 1945. He was a professional diver from the age of 7. A pilot and a witness of the advance of science in the art of diving and underwater adventure, he grew up traveling the world, learning about different cultures, and acquiring several languages.
In February 1967 Cousteau accompanied his father on the ''[[RV Calypso]]'' for an expedition to film the [[shark]]s of the [[Red Sea]] and the [[Indian Ocean]]. As well as being the lead photographer for the expedition, Philippe also chronicled his experiences in the 1970 publication ''Shark: Splendid Savage of the Sea''. He coproduced numerous documentaries with his father until his death, including his own PBS series, "Oasis in Space," concerning environmental issues.
Cousteau lent his technical expertise to the [[United States Navy|U.S. Navy]]'s [[SEALAB (United States Navy)|SEALAB]] program. In the aftermath of [[aquanaut]] [[Berry L. Cannon]]'s death while attempting to repair a leak in SEALAB III, Cousteau volunteered to dive down to SEALAB and help return it to the surface, although SEALAB was ultimately salvaged in a less hazardous way.<ref name="Craven">[[John Piña Craven|Craven, John Piña]] (2001). ''The Silent War: The Cold War Battle Beneath the Sea'', [[New York City|New York]]: [[Simon & Schuster]]. ISBN 0-684-87213-7</ref>
He died aged 38 in 1979 in a [[PBY Catalina]] flying boat crash in the [[Tagus]] river near [[Lisbon]]. The aircraft nosed over during a high speed taxi run undertaken to check the hull for leakage following a water landing. The Catalina turned upside down, causing the fuselage to break behind the cockpit. The wing separated from the fuselage and the left engine broke off, penetrating the captain's side of the cockpit.<ref name="ASN">{{cite web |title=ASN Aircraft accident Consolidated PBY-6A Catalina N101CS Alverca |author=Aviation Safety Network |url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19790628-0 |accessdate=2010-07-18}}</ref>
His children [[Alexandra Cousteau]] and [[Philippe Cousteau Jr.]] continue the family work in [[oceanography]] as the Co-Founders of [[EarthEcho International]].
