Nurse Shark Saved

[Florida Scuba Divers]

While diving off Shark Tales yesterday, we were on the wreck Princess Ann when we noticed a Nurse Shark lying lifeless on the bottom. When we approached and touched his tail he began to swim away. We saw that the shark had a large Frisbee around his neck and it was preventing him from eating. The shark looked very weak and had lost a lot of weight. Chip swam up to the shark and removed the Frisbee without incident. Way to go Chip... this Nurse Shark should live a long and healthy life thanks to you.

So wonderful!
This made my day.
The Princess Anne is also one of my favorite wreck dives, and that is saying a lot as I do not go out of my way to hit wrecks.

Saved a grunt once from a hook and line.

The diver in the video is carrying a spear gun. Presumably to spear and kill large fish around the wreck, and yet he's proud that he saved the life of...a big fish.

I don't get it, but maybe that's just me.
