Wild dolphin asks divers for help - and gets it!

In this remarkable footage shot in Hawaii in January, an entangled dolphin approaches divers filming manta rays and appears to ask a diver for help.  One fin was entangled in fishing line, and the diver, realizing what was up, removed the hook and line, even using his Leatherman to do it.  It's clear in the video that the dolphin trusted the diver, even when he was using a tool, and knew he was sincerely trying to help.  Simply amazing.

  1. Dolphins are known as "people of the sea". Every time I've been around them in my life, I've had that feeling. Going back into antiquity that has been the case.

  2. I've been able to swim around them, but they seem to be more comfortable when I haven't been using scuba.
