Monday, April 15 THE UNDERSEA WORLD OF JACQUES COUSTEAU (ABC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). "Search in the Deep." The oceanauts of the Calypso journey to the Island of Europa in the Mozambique Channel, foremost breeding ground of giant green sea turtles, those mysterious and ancient armored behe moths that sometimes grow to 800 Ibs. and the span of two arms' lengths across their shells...

...culmination of my life's work," proclaimed the 57-year-old Cousteau (TIME cover, March 28, 1960) as he set out last February from Monaco. For the opener of his series, which will run to at least twelve specials over a five-year span, his converted minesweeper Calypso pursued sharks in the waters of the Middle East. For half a year, Cousteau's crew was aswirl in terrifying hammerheads, blue whalers and tiger, shovelnose and white-tipped sharks-"by whatever name," the narrator said of the breed, "a fearsome brute, a perfect killing machine."

None could deny that the S.S. Independence was a capital ship for an ocean trip. Adding to the normal opulence of the liner's staterooms and saloons were ballroom and calypso bands, an assortment of fandango dancers, cabaret singers and social directors, and enough rich food and free Virgin Islands rum (for those who tired of the domestic champagne) for a well-sated cruise of indefinite duration-and all at the bargain price of $250 a head.

...islands' capital city, as well as ancient forts and quaint Danish architecture. St. Croix, quieter and less populated, boasts a rain forest and an arid, cactus-studded bluff, wildlife (deer, quail), a profusion of tropical fruit from papaya to pineapples, a golf course, and old plantations with such calypso names as "Slob," "Humbug" and "Jealousy." St. John remains mostly unsettled, its rugged terrain a protected national park; but for the wealthy it has the Rockefellers' exclusive resort at Cancel Bay, where two recent visitors were Lady Bird and Lynda Johnson...
