Jean-Michel Cousteau Will Open Up Operation on Petit St. Vincent

Jean-Michel Cousteau will open a dive center on the privately owned 115-acre Petit St. Vincent, 40 miles south of St. Vincent, by the end of the year. The dive center will operate independently of the island's resort, but will share some facilities, including the existing dock and boathouse. It will offer guided dives and PADI certifications for all levels. An on-staff naturalist/marine biologist will offer guided underwater tours and hikes around the island to educate guests about the area's marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

Cousteau is also involved in a dive operation in Fiji, at a hotel on Vanua Levu that bears his name.
