With Jean-Michel at the helm, the new Cousteau series is tailored to a 21st-century audience. A young, attractive crew—including Jean-Michel's children, Fabien, 39, and Céline, 33—crisscross the world's oceans aboard the Searcher. (Jacques' famed Calypso, which enthralled viewers from the 50s to the 80s, was struck and sunk by a barge in Singapore in 1996.) The series' thundering music, quick edits, and cliff-hanging moments—with big-name narration provided by Pierce Brosnan, the onetime James Bond, and Robert Redford, that eternal Sundance Kid—draw the audience into the world of sea creatures and the perils they face.

In 1937, Cousteau married Simone Melchoir, and they had two sons, Jean-Michel and Phillipe. Two years after their marriage, Cousteau fought for the French in World War II. He spent time as a spy and was awarded several medals. During the war, Cousteau still found time to continue his underwater work. In 1943, he and French engineer Emile Gagnan perfected the aqualung, which allowed a diver to stay underwater for several hours. Divers used the aqualung to located and remove enemy mines after World War II.
