To live like a fish you need to be able to glide through ocean marvels and breathe without coming to the surface for air! Years ago a young French boy wanted to live play, and explore the ocean. Jacques Cousteau was only a toddler when he learned to swim and spent his entire life discovering the joys and wonders of life beneath the waves. As he grew older—and more curious—Jacques captured underwater images with a special camera. Eventually, his passion for ocean exploration led him to invent a way to breathe underwater. No wonder he’s called the “manfish!” Join Kid Scoop as we dive into the magical kingdom of the sea and explore the life of Jacques Cousteau—a manfish who made a difference!
