This video is pretty amazing, although it is from 2013, I hadn’t seen this before and just had to share. While diving off the Hawaii Coast, a bottlenose dolphin approaches diver, Keller Laros. Laros is an experienced professional scuba diver and Manta Ray researcher. Laros was taking a group of snorkelers on a manta-ray dive experience. Laros said he heard a cry and then the dolphin appeared. He noticed the dolphin was tangled in fishing line in its left pectoral in immediately. In the video, you can Laros clearly signal the dolphin over, and the dolphin follows. For around ten minutes, the dolphin allows Laros to work on freeing the line. Laros was able to get the hook and line around the mouth free, but as more divers swam over to remove the rest of the fishing line, the dolphin swam off. Who says animals and humans cant communicate? MORE
