Great show last night, especially the incredible close up film of the humpbacks off of Lahaina.
I've been confused about the Cousteau family tree recently with the talk about Steve Irwin's death a couple of weeks ago. Cousteau's grandson Phillipe Cousteau was with the Crocodile hunter that fateful day filming with him and witnessed the tragedy.

I found out that Phillipe was the son of Jacques' second son Phillipe who died in 1979 in a sea plane accident.
What was shocking to me that I didn't know is that ole Jacques was doing some extracurricular diving later on in life and had a second family that his original family didn't know about until 1991 after their mother died of cancer in 1990!
