11 things we learned from Fabien Cousteau – who lived under water for 31 days
The food was ‘really, really awful’.
In 2014, Fabien Cousteau and his team embarked on a mission to break the world record for the number of days spent living under water.
They set up temporary quarters on Aquarius, an 81-ton vessel that serves as the world’s only underwater marine laboratory located nine miles off the coast of the Florida Keys and 63 feet beneath the sea.
