What did Jacques Costeau saw at the bottom of Lake Tahoe?

the mid 1970’s renowned french oceanographer, Jacques Cousteau, supposedly lead an expedition to explore the depths of Lake Tahoe. While submerged in the lake Cousteau reportedly had an encounter with something so terrifying that he refused to reveal any information to the public on what he had seen. Sources close to Cousteau quoted him as saying “The world is not ready for what is down there!” To make matters worse, Cousteau never revealed any of his data or film footage regarding what may be the most important and incredible freshwater encounter by a known expert in the field of Marine Biology.

What did he encounter at the bottom of Lake Tahoe that would lead him to such a reaction? Unfortunately Jacques Cousteau has since passed away, taking with him all evidence of what he saw in Lake Tahoe. Could it be an unknown animal to science?

or maybe this?

I like the idea but isn't R'lyeh meant to be in the Pacific ? Guess old H.P.Lovecraft could have been wrong though

Ok so I gives you the star and flag because, Jack Gusto was the man, he was the water Chuck Norris.
For that reason alone I do not think that Jack would have been skeered of anything.
BTW 100 golden internet points to the first one to tell me where Jack Gusto (the name) came from.

Jacques Cousteau never went to the bottom of Lake Tahoe. And there are no crazy portals to other dimensions or crazy monsters in Tahoe.

This myth has gone around in a few different incarnations in the past, one even says it was Jacques' brother or something. Both false.

My source: Reno/Tahoe resident 17 yrs n counting

I'll find 'legitimate' sources if you want.

This guy is obviously joking come on now people!! Just a funny guy making a silly thread with a silly pic at the end!

I actually looked it up, and my conclusion is......the first name is french (as is he), and I'm assuming the last name came from his father (as his parents names are Cousteau as well.). ...could be missing something, but I'm pretty sure he has had that name since birth.
And how did I know that was going to be a pic of Chatullu.

It seems nobody else has a guess, it was Fred Sanford from sanford and son!
he called Jaques, "Jack Gusto".
50 golden internet points to you for participation however.

Perhaps Rosey Oh Donald! in a thong?

no, that would have turned him to stone.
No human could withstand that horror.

I have heard rumors from the locals that say there are hundreds of perfectly preserved bodies of workers from china that have been down there for over a hundred years. I don't know if this is true, but maybe someone here has heard the same thing? The story is that this was how they got rid of the bodies of people who died, did not work hard enough, or were unneeded after jobs were complete. I don't know, but This is what the locals said he found when he went down there. I heard this story about eight years ago, when on a short visit, otherwise I have never heard of his expedition.
