In 1941 and 1942 he is assigned to Naval intelligence, performing critical missions and making shooting for the first French underwater movie Par dix-huit mètres de fond (18 meters deep), sometimes as a cover. After the scuttling of the French fleet in Toulon, he spends the year of 1943 shooting the movie Épaves (Shipwrecks) with his friend the “mousquemers”, in which they used two of the very first Aqua-Lung prototypes.
