This was sent to me by an old friend and client and I knew I had to share this one around the community.

I experienced a similar situation,
recovering a abandoned long line on the seabed i found a exhausted nurse shark attached to it.

Considering his/her state being almost unconscious from fighting to become free i decided to risk and try to free him/her.

I had my GoPro running clipped on my bcd but in the situation i did not think to hand the camera to Iris to get some better pictures. :-(

So please excuse the real bad quality!

This video was posted about a month or so ago. I that version there is sub titles states the dolphin wouldn't let him remove the hook. Also in this version the subtitle states he uses scissors but the video clearly shows a knife. I only mention this because it would seem the video has made its rounds and is perhaps being altered.

 

Here is the original post and video link.
