"The main aim of my life has been free man from the bonds which bind his face, allowing him to escape
from his natural limits, breath in an unbreathable and withstand increasingly great pressuresM and not only to place man in
this new atmosphere but to adapt him to it, teach him to explore it, to subsist, to survive and study what lies around
him"
"El principal objetivo de mi vida ha sido liberar al hombre de los vinculos que
lo retienen en la superficie, permitiendole escapar a sus limites naturales, respirar en un medio irrespirable y resistir
presiones cada dia mayores. Y no solamente colocar al hombre en ese ambiente nuevo sino adaptarlo a el, enseñandole a explorarlo,
a subsistir, a sobrevirir y estudiar lo que le rodea"
Jacques Ives Cousteau, El mar viviente, 1963
