    TO THE RESCUE: An ordinary diving trip turned into a rescue mission to free a whale shark entangled in what appears to be a fishing net. The divers caught up to the large fish and successfully freed it from the obstruction. https://abcn.ws/2KnaTXH pic.twitter.com/UbIarrhxzH

        That's awesome, but why did they let the net go?

        He had no tank and maybe minal oxygen in his lungs. It was also a stressful incident, so did his best.

        A nice move. When I trained to dive, I heard of a few cases of dolphins and whales coming to humans for help.

        It would have been too heavy to bring up from that deep with no oxygen tank after having already spent so much time holding his breath

        You think ? He threw it off there like it was nothing and it didn't sink right away.

        So they took it off and then left it floating to tangle something else?

        That's possible but I think most people would have tried to rise to the surface with it and then if it became too heavy, let it go. Even if they just tried for a few seconds. However, he immediately let it go.

        How many times are we going to have to watch divers freeing ocean animals entangled in fishing nets? The plastics & trash aren’t bad enough? Are there steps being taken to penalize those who abandon nets?
