Steve Irwin's Last Adventure 2 "His camera crew was always spot-on because he refused to do more than one take" in those situations, Cousteau said.
"Ocean's Deadliest" does not refer to Irwin's death until its closing shot: a still photo of Irwin, smiling broadly, and the words "In Memory of Steve Irwin."
"Doing the last few minutes of narration was pretty tough," said Cousteau, who serves as the on-camera guide and voice of the project. "It got a little emotional at the end. I kept thinking of all the things Steve and I talked about -- how humankind is the deadliest predator in the ocean. The strong conservation message comes through, and that's a great tribute to him."
