CARREER

After the armistice of 1940, Cousteau’s family took refuge in Megeve. Here he became good friends with the Ichac family who lived there, too. Marcel Ichac and Jacques both shared many of the same interests. They both wanted to reveal to the public some unknown and inaccessible places. Jacques wanted to reveal the underwater world and Ichac wanted to explore the high mountains. In 1943, the two friends won a prize of Congress of Documentary Film. This was for the first French underwater film. The film was made without a breathing apparatus. Instead, they used some deep-pressure-proof cameras developed by Leon Veche. Their film, Shipwrecks, was made in 1943. In this film, the two friends used the very first Aqua-Lung prototypes.
