Diver Pulls a Giant Fishhook Out of Lemon Shark

We hope all divers are as helpful as this one who removed a huge hook from a lemon shark's belly.

We occasionally see descriptions of marine animals approaching divers for help. Sometimes those descriptions seem to be reaching a fair amount. But sometimes they don’t. While no one can say for certain if this shark was asking for help, it certainly does seem as though it was asking for assistance from the divers around to remove a giant fishhook. In this case, it approached a person who was all too willing to lend a hand.

Travel with usWe like to swim with whales.Three animals, three oceans, six guests or fewer in the water. We are a specialist agency, not a catalogue — these three are the whole list, and between them their seasons cover every month of the year.
Solo travellers take their own room by adding on a single supplement — we won’t put you in with a stranger to save a bed.See all three trips
