By Jean-Michel Cousteau, Friend
As a world-renowned dive pioneer and undersea explorer, Phil Nuytten was an inventor, entrepreneur, artist, President and founder of Nuytco Research Ltd and a colleague for decades. But much more than that, he was a very dear, trusted, and loved friend.
Phil had the deep love for his family, love for exploration, and the love to share these adventures through this publication.
I have known few people as energetic, passionate, and dedicated as Phil. Each time we met I was inspired by his hard work and commitment to ocean engineering, ocean exploration, and ocean conservation.
As divers, we all know that exploring the underwater world can be a transformative experience. Phil knew that too. He knew the only way to engage humanity of the urgent issues of a changing and degrading ocean environment was to encourage one to take the plunge and discover the rich biodiversity found beneath the surface of the sea for oneself.
Phil pushed the boundaries and made a global impact in commercial, scientific, military, and technical diving industries, receiving world-wide attention for his undersea exploration and the leading role Canada plays in these endeavours. His innovations opened up new possibilities in underwater research and helped advance our understanding of marine ecosystems, especially those in the deep seas.
