COUSTEAU TO BREAK COUSTEAU UNDERWATER RECORD!

Tomorrow, July 1, 2014, FABIEN COUSTEAU, ocean researcher and filmmaker, will break his grandfather's, JACQUES COUSTEAU, record for living underwater. Fabien is leading a team of scientists, educators and filmmakers on the longest-ever stationary habitat beneath the sea.

The habitat, called AQUARIUS REEF BASE, lies 63 feet below the surface in the FLORIDA KEYS NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY off Key Largo.

The project, called Mission 31, aims to build awareness about the need to protect the ocean and honors a historic expedition 50 years ago by Cousteau's famous grandfather, explorer, Jacques Cousteau. Read the full story from NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC at:
