His name alone makes Fabien Cousteau, grandson of the late Jacques, a big fish in the world of underwater exploration. Now he's taking that big-fish status to extremes.


The Paris-born, New York-based explorer had become a virtual shark, thanks to his new shark-shaped submarine. He uses the sub to dive incognito among the oceans' top predators, great white sharks.

Created at a cost of more than U.S. $100,000, the 14-foot-long (4.3-meter-long) contraption is designed to look and move as much like the real thing as possible. It carries a single passenger, who fits inside lying down, propped up on elbows to navigate and observe (see photo).

"This is akin to being the first human being in the space capsule in outer space," Cousteau said. "It's pretty similar. You have no idea what's going to happen; it's a prototype." (Read a National Geographic Adventure magazine interview with Cousteau.)

Cousteau used the submarine to make a documentary intended to demystify the notion that great white sharks are ruthless, mindless killers.

Great whites have been around for more than 400 million years. Anything that has survived that long isn't "stupid," he said.

The documentary, Mind of a Demon—a nod to the human misperception of the creatures—is slated to air this winter on CBS in the U.S.

Cartoon to Reality

Cousteau calls the sub Troy, in reference to the mythical Trojan horse statue, in which Greek soldiers were spirited into the fortress kingdom of Troy.

The idea for the sub, though, came from a slightly more prosaic source.

Troy was inspired by Tintin, a Belgian comic book character. On the cover of the book Le Trésor de Rackham le Rouge (published in English as Red Rackham's Treasure), Tintin and his dog are pictured in a metal, shark-shaped submarine.

Badass. Sharks are fucking badder than jesus.

that is very cool

I agree.

Long time fan of the shark here.

And in 'Secret of the Unicorn', the book that comes before 'Red Rackham's treasure'...

I loved Tintin books as a small kid. Trying to find hardcover editions for my son :)

Yeah sharks are great. It was the only thing as a kid that I would read. I was junior open water certified SCUBA diver at 13.

Seems like a waste of money to me but cool for him

How is it a waste of money? I can't wait to see that documentary.

Well his going to swim with sharks and act like he is "down with a brotha".

I would love to see that.

It would be like DAK going to the ghetto to see what's going on. To study the ghetto life.

Related to the famous Jaques, innovative method of getting among the sharks to film, neat submersible that captures the public's imagination... he's probably made back his investment several times over in broadcast license pre-sales already

They would see through DAK in a second.

He would mix up a pitcher of koolaid and only use one cup of sugar. Then the niggars would smell the fear on him, see his clean finger nails; it'd be all over.

or BATMAN putting on a big black dildo to try and literally hang out with the brothas.

that's fantastic. the shark-sub, i mean. i just hope it doesn't malfunction while he's down there.

I would just like to see what the other sharks do with it, if anything.

probably nothing, unless they could, you know, smell that it was a machine and not a shark. if smell is the correct term. i'd hate to hear what would happen if the sub sprung a leak or the equipment malfunctioned on board.

well the sub probably gives off electrical frequencies that the sharks will find interesting. Scientists are starting to believe that white sharks have a pretty advanced social structure.

I bet the real sharks will eventually think it is sick and or dying and just go after it and try to kill it. That should make for some good TV.

as awful as that is, i know i'd probably still watch it. be horrified doing so, yes, but i'd watch it.:dunno:

Cum to think of it, I have never recalled any famous black scuba divers, or divers for that matter.

They might make dubs outta their fins and gold plate their tanks.

as a matter of fact, if u see a brotha in the open ocean, it's a good sign that there has been a recent plane crash or the fatanic sank nearby.........

There was that one movie, you know, with that one niggar who was in everything for a few years. Navy diving of some shit. He was the first one.

Theres a niggar scuba diver in jaws 4!

The bitch sharks are bigger than the man sharks.

I saw this underwater footage where they can sense each other (probably via electrical signals) and the smaller shark darts off from the food source.

Also, great whites love to show each other their teeth as a "fuck-off" jesture.

it would convince me to fuck off..........

here he is.

he must have been domesticated............ or was he used as a shark repellent?

here he is.

That's a light skinner who wore a suit that would prevent him from having actually contact with the water.........

Yea he was the first niggar to swim. Opened the door to a world of opportunity that the blacks have squandered.

Kind of like blacks not voting after so much was sacrificed for their right to.

Now Cooksey lost his leg, but the niggars just want to roll around in fire hydrants.

THat's a great picture.

I'm on my desktop. I have a really good one of a bunch of niglets saved on my laptop. That was form google images.
