"The Silent World" "A film by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Louis Malle" "Frederic Dumas, Albert Falco and the Calypso Divers" "Director de Photography Undersea production" "Mounting and Music" "50 meters from the surface, these men are going to shoot a film." "Provided with a diving autonomous compressed air" "They are free from pressure." "They move freely." "To make this film, they take cameras for the Mediterranean," "Red Sea, Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf to discover a strange, almost unknown:" "the world of silence." "These men are divers the ship is Calypso, an underwater research vessel, Commander Cousteau." "A dive more." "With Philippe Tailliez and Frédéric Dumas we have made thousands, for 20 years now." "20 years ago, because of our curiosity we ventured out to sea." "Dumas and I have hundreds and hundreds hours of immersion." "Our enthusiasm and pleasure still alive as the first day." "Now we share it with Calypso comrades." "The work planned for this season is over." "Falco leaves his diving, We are moving forward" "The Calypso with 12 divers, their equipment and materials" "It is a new tool the marine research service." "In each mission, we embarked scholars and specialists from universities, museums and laboratories." "We put together our efforts and techniques to explore the seabed." "André Laban has managed to build himself this camera plastic material." "He unloads the film the last dive." "François Saout, our second for 10 years, connects the autopilot." "It is he who prepares the crossing orchestra and our daily lives." "Underwater exploration known today its golden age." "Thousands of men have adopted the method and immerse themselves in search of a dream old as the world." "This engraving, 1784, illustrates the invention Engineer Freminet, the hidrostatergática machine." "To this day there remains a Equipment with a century old:" "the diving helmet." "Our friends from the depths, sponge fishermen, costume daily use." "Most are Greek." "We found one of those boats, They are sailing in the Mediterranean," "Gibraltar the Golden Horn." "This time, we are going to present over the sea." "an order is given, one piece is displaced, a trapdoor in the floor rises kitchen and so open our departure immersion which crosses the middle hull." "Divers use it to get into the water when the waves are very strong or very cold." "Thanks to her, Dumas and Falco down without attracting the attention of the Greeks." "The escafandrista, close to the ground for their footwear leaded progresses slowly, in search of sponges." "His precious air tube and one security cuerrda you link to your boat." "These men usually do 8 to 10 drops on the same day." "Many of them die every year, almost all end up disabled by this terrible job." "This is why a man who descends to the sea, per meter down" "You must breathe the air at the same water pressure around you." "A 10m, are 2 times atmospheric pressure." "A 20m, 3 times, and so on." "The more descends escafandrista, more it dissolved by the blood nitrogen from the air, and then the tissue." "When submerged, anything can happen." "But as up, nitrogen is released, as the foam of champagne." "And so blocking balls joints and, in more serious cases, clogged arteries, causing death from stroke." "The escafandristas usually have ailments that paralyze them or they age them prematurely." "We are exposed to the same danger they, but we are better prepared to combat it." "Prepare descomopresión camera." "Well, Laban, what happens?" "I have a pain in the joint knee." "Ah!" "Who did you come down?" "With Bebert." "What has happened, Bebert?" "Here are the cuplables." "Taking, carry them to the kitchen." "I went out today with Laban, I was looking for lobsters." "I followed him along a cliff and I saw him down a dark fails." "He had seen the lobsters." "We should have spent 50m and that damn fault" "He continued to decline." "We are approaching the bottom, where the air had a strange taste." "Where drunkenness seemed dangerous." "Suddenly, I heard a well-known whistle" "Laban felt was open your reservation." "He already had to be a little drunk." "He began to let lobsters escape." "Until then, it was not serious." "But he began to get serious." "When I saw him take off his mask," "I realized that I had lost my mind." "I sent up and he seemed to have understood." "Instead of accompanying him, as it should have done," "I just pointed him to come in the decompression apparatus." "He must have left the water with blood filled with nitrogen." "And after that, you do not know the reason that it hurts the knee." "Come on, boy, the coffin." "And fast." "Is it absolutely necessary?" "Absolutely." "Give me your table." "Hello, Laban?" "How are you?" "Idonotfeelbad." "That's why you is compressed air." "How long I will pass on this coffin?" "Come to pour!" "3 hours, depending on the table." "I trust the doctor." "I'm going to eat." "Care for the sick, doctor." "Hey, my lobster!" "We are approaching the tropics." "Some dolphins come playing near the boat." "The dolphins are not fish, but mammals close enough to the dogs." "They are endowed with intelligence and sense of humor." "Accompany effortlessly the fastest ship." "To admire them better, Laban down our observation chamber beneath the boat." "Dolphins communicate together by means of shrill cries that resound through the walls." "It's holiday for the dolphins." "They came by the hundreds, as we had never seen before." "Even at night, the Calypso sailing following a magical itinerary to the bottom of the sea." "Our probe captures the waves sent from the depths." "The lilting cry of Calypso It is sharper than the dolphins." "In the graph of sonar the top line represents the surface while the curve traced by the pen reproduces the relief fund." "If we increase much the signal power regular echoes are recorded in the open sea, 400m deep" "revealing one or more layers of mysterious origin." "The existence of this layer creates problems scholars worldwide." "To help solve the problem, Professor Edgenton" "We built automatic cameras, able to descend to 2,000 meters." "Containing film 30m film." "In 3 hours immersion at a rate of 1 flash every 15 seconds the device can make 800 photos." "We have already made more than 25 thousand under 7 seas and 2 oceans." "This unexplainable layer exists in all seas." "The average depth is one where whales go to feed." "In the graph, we remain perfectly lowering the camera." "She disappears into the layer." "We stopped the ship." "300m beneath our feet, flashes light up the night of depth." "Disclose and increased negative board." "Most evoke a sky of stars." "Others show the jellyfish and colognes bodies in strange ways." "But here, the layer dispersion has kept his secret." "The most classical techniques are also used in the Calypso." "For example, open up the bottle, with a thermometer invested." "At a desired depth, a messenger back and closes the bottle." "But no instrument replaces to the man." "Divers are indispensable for explore the vast inventory sea." "Dumas and Falco leave for explore the twilight zone at the foot of a cliff coral." "As you descend, warm colors disappear" "Everything turns blue." "As we descend to 30m, light lanterns And it's uma explosion of colors!" "The colors that no one, the same fish have seen before." "They often read depth in his wrist gauges." "Because the species fixed to the walls They vary according to the depth." "The more immersed It becomes warmer brown." "More violent red." "More than 60m, the brains are prey drunkenness depth." "The landscape looks like something out of a nightmare." "Still, they continue to 75m." "These are the images deepest ever filmed." "No need to go lower." "No need to stay longer." "They go up." "The brains react immediately." "To pick up a complete sampling reef, we must, inevitably cause some damage." "In the garden of corals, no poisonous shrubs anemones." "They devour fish who risk your contact poisoned." "They are the wiles of the sea." "But they also have their protected" "They are using their hospitality, in the midst of danger." "See the excitement of one of them, that little yellow clown" "divided between fear and curiosity." "This sleeve is a live sea cucumber, cucumber sea." "She moves slowly, sand swallowing food." "Removing the other hand, after confidence digest food." "Your intestinal cavity serves as a refuge fish-shaped eel, who have the privilege to come and go in exchange for not know what." "In the coral reef, biologists use dynamite." "Commercial fishing with dynamite is illegal." "It is an act of vandalism." "But it is the only way do a reliable census." "10 fish killed by the explosion, only 1 or 2 float." "Most sinks, lost for the fisherman." "At bottom, divers discover a tragic picture." "At the slightest sign of danger, the fish balloon is inflated." "It is so swollen that no predator can catch him." "But the little trick does not work against dynamite." "The splendor of tropical fish not withstand much after last death." "The colors disappear even before naturalists place them in formaldehyde." "I always dreamed to do, without getting tired, exploring long distances." "Today, we have electric scooters that Divers maneuver with the whole body." "They have one hour of autonomy." "The bikes allow us to increase, significantly, our range." "We can leave them in the background, as uma motorcycle is parked on the sidewalk." "Our new game has, unfortunately, need to breathe." "The sea turtle can be an hour without breathing" "But it makes an effort Too big." "We do not insist more!" "In 20 years of diving, we have visited many shipwrecks." "Those left on the surface They were looted by man before being destroyed by the waves." "I dived under that thing Ruined iron, but there was nothing." "It is completely destroyed." "The semi-submerged shipwrecks They are useless." "We have never seen anything well preserved less than 20m deep." "A British freighter, found in 1942 somewhere in the Canal 30m deep." "No supervivente, poorly defined position." "We need to find him." "It's like finding a needle in a haystack." "But it is worth." "Laban calls here." "Teicher!" "Activate the ecosonar and radar!" "Hello, Laban?" "Could you come to the catwalk?" "Its aim is to bring the boat to the tip of the reef." "Boarding an empty drum and serve as radar." "Yes my commander." "Manden white boat sea!" "The wreck must have occurred somewhere in this sector." "We will cross it systematically." "Prepare a chart to calculate the distance." "You'll be able to read the background to almost 10 cm." "400" "Avante all, 4-50." "Yes, my commander." "A 1000-260." "A trace." "Not a trace." "It is a school of fish." "Line change." "Reempláceme on the radar." "And if you descend through the hatch?" "Yes, if you want." "Dumas,clearwater?" "Quite clearly, yes." "Well,I amlistening." "A 1025 208." "A 1002 210" "Position" "Let's 1032 211!" "It's her!" "Dumas, you have not seen anything?" "No, still nothing." "But the water has changed color." "Make a U-turn to the left." "Prudencia at the helm." "Attention Dumas, open your eyes." "Divers care." "Go out the back." "Puig Falco and equípense." "There it is!" "I have seen the boat!" "Divers Attention!" "Ahead!" "The Calypso suffers bad weather." "Monsoon is." "For many days, we sway non-stop." "The sea is calm." "Monsoon belly out to enter the doldrums." "Nothing earth depues 10 days, no boat on this empty sea." "Only flying fish." "Every night, dozens of them fall on the bridge, attracted by the lights." "For breakfast, you only need bend down to pick them up." "Among us, the flying fish they're delicious." "Later that same day, men look for whales." "Whales!" "Attention, descend!" "In fact whales are sperm whales." "All left." "Saout platform drops behind." "In 20 years of sailing, He never had occasion to approach animals this size." "They are not truly ferocious." "Saout home, are fishermen generation after generation." "Having a whale under his nose 20m long" "He has awakened an instinct old as the world." "Saout, you can use all your muscles, it will not hurt." "Easily distinguish sperm whales other whales." "Have a single nose located on the left side of the head, exhalation is oblique." "They can dive to a depth of 1000m." "They have jaw, teeth, and They feed on squid or cuttlefish." "These sperm whales never found bring a ship to be left that way." "They go a little slower than us, we follow them and observe them for more than 1 hour." "Quick, turn right, Laban." "Everything right!" "We've hit against a huge sperm whale." "The whole boat has been shaken by the shock, the drive was forced." "The sperm whale has also suffered." "I do not believe my ears." "Wounded, screaming for help." "His companions are not trying to flee." "Around you to support you better." "The cry of the unfortunate beast is heard underwater from afar and all points on the horizon small groups of sperm whales They respond to the distress call." "They swim towards Comrade in dificuldades showing clearly the danger we are." "And soon the whole family, male, female, young, they meet." "We have up to 27 sperm whales." "We follow the group, at low speed very excited about solidarity." "Under our eyes, the incident It becomes a drama." "A baby sperm whale, not It reaches 6m long, is separated from the group, reckless like all young." "Turns toward the vessel and passes near the town." "Hello catwalk!" "Hello passarela!" "The engine has stopped." "What should I do?" "Resume as soon as possible." "The poor beast was wounded by propeller blades." "The cuts are deep." "We are shocked." "The sperm whale fight pequeñoo valientamente to join his family." "Get swim for a while next to yours." "But it's too painful." "Exhausted, you desist." "Stop follow." "It should shorten their suffering." "In the latter attack, the animal He has found the strength to react." "We help you stay afloat tail tying firmly" "And Dumas shoots a bullet in the head." "But we are not the only ones witness the drama." "Blood has attracted a shark." "Then 2, then 3." "Small and large." "Blue and gray." "Where will those sharks?" "We are far from all costs and there 5.ooo meters of water under our keel." "Soon to be 30, hanging around with insolence." "For us, divers, Sharks are mortal enemies." "We often find the, but we have never seen so many at once." "It is the first time we use our anti-shark cage and go to look with hope the cable is solid." "The infernal round of sharks around the dam if men have already seen, They did not live to tell the tale." "A dead whale or a man at sea for sharks it's the same thing." "The round lasts for hours." "Messrs sharks are accompanied by suckerfish, a fish-sucker," "They are sticking to them and make transported without tiredness, and pilot fish vertically striped." "The fence is closed." "The shark check dam it seems that caresses with his nose." "It's up to cold sangue." "During a past, he gives a blow head on the bar balancing the cage." "And suddenly the first bite." "The hard leather is torn as by a knife." "It is the signal for an orgy." "All sailors in the world They hate sharks." "Divers are furious." "Nothing can stop an ancestral hatred." "Each seeks a weapon, It does not matter which one, to hit, hook, hoist." "The latest victim Cook It is a fish-sucker." "After 16 grueling hours, We return to the route" "There is no longer a breath of wind." "Heat a heavy defeat men." "The journey has been long, the land can not be far away." "We all look forward to." "We would say that is a deserted island." "The man should never have ventured here." "It's a giant turtle." "Only we found in 2 locations in the world." "And in our island lost there are thousands." "These prehistoric monsters they are vegetarian" "Hundreds of seabirds nest in the bushes." "Coconut crabs They enter the arena." "¿Trail steps?" "We would say that a tank He landed on the beach." "What happened?" "Good Morning!" "Good morning sir." "What are you doing?" "I'm fucking eggs." "¿Eggs?" "Yes, turtle eggs which they were released last night." "There are thousands and thousands of turtle eggs." "It is the time of spawning." "The turtles come to the beach pairs." "At night, the females come ashore." "The sand is still warm." "They dig um nest, and then, a deep well for eggs." "They use the legs as shovel." "It is necessary that the well is deep well." "Or coconut crabs They eat eggs." "Now, they lay eggs." "It is a very Painful work and very long." "More than 2 hours to put all the eggs." "When you finish them" "It covers the nest with sand." "She caresses him so sweetly, so sweetly and yet it might never again find their babies." "He is so tired, so exhausted you can just leave the nest" "He can barely crawl to the sea." "His eyes are filled with tears." "Some say the wind He makes them mourn, but I think it is pain." "Every night, 2 of them They come here and start here." "2 months later, the sand begins moving everywhere." "Turtle babies leave the nest." "Small start the way." "They go running straight to the sea." "I never had any anchored ship He lost in this reef." "The fish of the neighborly They have come to see intruders." "and already they have seen through surface." "How to test our friendship?" "Feeding them!" "Delmas, carrying a sack of meat at the waist, try an experiment." "Our friends will water cause a prudent retreat." "But we will be patient." "For 6 weeks, we will not a hostile gesture, a sharp movimento." "Fish avoided us for a long time before adopting us." "A leaf fish and a blowfish!" "Nothing different." "The paddlefish lives in the open sea." "Puffer fish live on the reef coral, from where rarely." "And indeed, no friends." "The friendship between a man and a fish would be something unusual." "Delmas is a mere 25kg, which is interested in him." "The number does not have big teeth, but his jaw" "It is full of them, to the back of the throat." "It is advisable to stick his hand." "Indeed, the man and the fish They are not trusting each other." "But he carries a sack of meat." "But no." "The bag no." "This time, all right." "It has become our friend." "Divers christen it as JoJo." "JoJo grouper, EC give you this waltz me?" "He no longer leaves us." "Divers will change compressed air." "JoJo comes to keep them company." "In 20 years of diving, I never found such a familiar fish." "Thanks to the sack of meat, fish all around become our friends." "JoJo gluttony has no limits." "It makes life impossible." "What to do?" "After discussion, divers They decide to put him in prison." "There is everything you need on board." "The cage that protected us against the Sharks will serve you well." "JoJo is fine with us." "We left with sadness." "you will never forget." "It was time to lift anchor to separate our foreign friends." "We did not miss more than scratch the sea surface." "One day, we descend far below." "New discoveries They are waiting for us in the world of silence."
