Cousteau is livin’ the dream. He writes so conversationally and still presents the book as nonfiction. I feel like I’m chatting with a particularly well-informed diving buddy. Also these PICTURES are EVERYTHING. Holy smokes. THEY’RE GORGEOUS and seriously impressive for the time. And omg? The casualness with which Cousteau addresses shark encounters and seriously dangerous excursions? He’s so chill I love it
