This is the best sea story ever: the saga of being the first son of the legendary ocean explorer, Jacques Cousteaua boy thrust into history-making adventures in the unknown depths of the sea, and, while discovering the nature of the world, finding the human side of his father, deep respect for his mother, and a place in the world for himself.-Sylvia A. Earle, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and author of The World Is Blue

My father, the great Jacques-Yves Cousteau...Such a gift he has given to me! Such an inheritance!...I notice an unusual opening in the kelp. All around there is this dense and marvelous kelp forest, which appears to collect around a silky, sandy bottom. The way it appears before me, at just that moment, is almost otherworldly. The sun's rays are shining brightly through the kelp, lighting up this little, inexplicable patch of sandlike a spotlight on an empty stage. All around me there are tiny garibaldi, brightly colored damselfish native to the area. In normal light, they're a fantastic, shimmering orange, but here, in this bright sunlight, they are like festive candles, a string of party decorations announcing some underwater fiesta.

What can I do but follow these playful, carrot-colored fish to the sandy bottom? What can I do but give myself over to their sweet allure? I drop to my knees and fall on the spot and I am overcome with emotion. It is almost mystical. I have been thinking of my father, of course, and now it feels as if he is here with me, on this sun-splashed ocean floor.

For the first time since his death, he is near.FROM THE INTRODUCTION
