"During a manta ray dive, a bottlenose dolphin approached master scuba diver Keller Laros. It had fishing line wrapped around its pectoral fin and line coming out of its mouth. The dolphin cruised up to Laros and rolled over as he started to remove the fishing line while the dolphin patiently waited. Laros was able to free the pectoral fin, remove a fishing hook and cut the line trailing from the mouth before the dolphin swam away."
The dolphin needed help and knew that a scuba diver could provide that help. How cool is that!

My daughter-in-law forwarded that too me on FaceBook a few days ago, it’s been making the rounds there. The dolphin definetly knew the divers would help, it even went up for a breath and came back down to the diver to finish :)

I really love the fact that the divers hands appear to be slightly shaking. Talk about an incredible experience. How could one ever expect to find themselves in such an amazing situation! Awesome work Diver!

I was fishing recently off Stuart and a dolphin started stealing my bait (finger mullet). As soon as I realized he (she?) was there, we pulled in all of our lines and just tossed a few mullet in the water near the boat. In hindsight, it was probably stupid to encourage and reward the dolphin for going after our lines, but we were rewarded with a nice visit and a few tricks.

Here’s the link to an interview with the diver who filed the whole thing :)
