I'm looking for more information about the insignia that can be found on the shoulders of the black/yellow striped Beuchat wetsuits that Cousteau's divers wore. On the upper left shoulder can be found the green Calypso flag, but upon browsing my Ocean World and Undersea Discoveries books, there appear to be two others that I'm having a difficult time identifying. One is a small 1 to 1.5 inch, orange logo of a damselfish. The other, an elongate, ~3 inch, red oval with a white shark in the center.

Can anyone tell me any more about these symbols or patches? Are there any good photos of them on the internet?

Thanks for your help in advance!
