Divers Rescue Dolphin Tangled in Fishing Line

Dramatic underwater footage captures divers rescuing a bottlenose dolphin that was hooked by a fishing line.

The dolphin swam into the lighted areas where SCUBA dive instructors noticed that fishing line was restricting the dolphin's movement. The encounter was caught on video on January 11 when Keller Laros spent close to 8 minutes next to the mammal.
