You know, kids nowadays are like Jacques who?
But, you know, at the time that was a big deal.
We hadn't seen sharks like that and octopus like that and whales like that.
It was fantastic.
It was an alien world right here on Earth.
And I made the cognitive leap at the age of 15, that's an alien world I can go to.
I might not ever be on a spaceship, I might not ever be an astronaut, but I can go to that world.
Well, I grew up in Niagara Falls with thundering water in the background of every moment of our lives.
That might have something to do with why I have water on the brain.
So when I was 15, I begged my father to enroll me in a scuba diving class.
And I think I was the only kid in the entire city of Niagara Falls that could scuba dive.
It wasn't until I moved to the West Coast when I was 17 that I started diving in the Pacific Ocean, and that was just, that blew my mind, to actually see it for real, these animals, these incredible plant forms.
And so I just fell deeper and deeper and deeper in love with the ocean.
Magnetometer's twitching, but I don't see anything yet.
As a filmmaker, it's really The Abyss that's his first foray into making a film that's in the ocean.
And that's kind of where it all begins for Jim.
When I wrote The Abyss, that put me in contact with a lot of people who were exploring quite deep, like Robert Ballard, who had found the Titanic.
Cameron, he obviously sees the cinematic possibilities in Titanic, but it's fascinating that he sort of begins with a conversation with Robert Ballard, who is exploring the wreck.
Jim visited the Titanic wreck itself at least 33 times.
He spent hundreds of hours in the Titanic wreck.
