Decided Quotes
My desire to dive with an oxygen cylinder was so intensive that I decided to use a trick. Registering as Helene Jacob, I lied about my age: instead of 1902, I wrote 1922 in the application forms.

Air Quotes
My grandfather was Jacques Cousteau, a pioneer of ocean exploration and the co-inventor of scuba diving.

Bunch Quotes
I wore what was called a motion capture suit, which was like a tight scuba suit with a whole bunch of light sensors on it.

Changes Quotes

People of our generation are surfing, diving, sail boarding, scuba diving, skin diving and engaging in all kinds of activities.

Earth Quotes
The thing I remember most about space is the view from the spacewalk. When I was inside the space shuttle and looking through the window, you can see the earth and the stars, and it's very beautiful, but it's like looking at an aquarium, sort of. When you go outside and spacewalk, you become a scuba diver.
