Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Screen capture of a video frame at the 40:40 mark of The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau episode 17 "The Secrets of the Sunken Caves" (episode 17), showing Jacques Cousteau wielding a magnesium torch in each hand while scuba diving in a dark underwater cavern.
Author or copyright owner	Jacques Cousteau
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsfJeNGm26k
Date of publication	26 September 1971
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Magnesium torch
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Intended for lead image. The article is about magnesium torches, which were used in scuba diving from the 1950s to the early 1970s, and Jacques Cousteau is the most notable user of such a device. The image shows Cousteau scuba diving while holding such torches.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	Text cannot adequately describe the complex visual display created by magnesium burning underwater when used for illumination while diving.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is a single frame from a much longer television episode, scaled to a low resolution (320x240) and slightly cropped, for use in a single article on Wikipedia.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
