Photo of the Day ~ Whale Shark Saved by Divers
February 13, 2013
Last November, when a team of dive guides and guests aboard the 112-foot vessel Solmar V went for their first dive of the day near Socorro Island, Mexico, they spotted a pregnant whale shark tangled in a 2" rope. On their second dive, they saw the same shark again and proceeded to cut it free. You can watch the rescue in the video below. As the issue of marine debris becomes more pervasive, scenes like this will become even more common than they are today. Photo: (c) David Valencia
Thank God! Thanks to those who saved this poor pregnant whale shark. I\’m so glad after reading and watching the video that these locals saved the whale shark from getting tangled by a 2 inch rope.
