A Great White Shark Impersonation

Fabien Cousteau, grandson of the famous Jacques Cousteau, has a unique approach to underwater research. He created a shark-sub to observe great white sharks up close. This innovative idea was risky, but his main concern was human error. Cousteau has also spent an impressive 31 days in an underwater research lab, which led to unexpected side effects, like losing the ability to taste. He believes scuba gear could be lighter and more efficient, suggesting a carbon-fiber tank similar to those made by NASA.
