He did have a special knife for cutting the rope so close to the skin and not hurt the whale. Oh l suppose the teeth of the whale could not do, as like a great white sharks and move head side to side to enable the cutting using serration aspect to their type of teeth. Some how the time the guy had prior observed the whale, must have made some kind of trust that the whale seeked him out for help. Not the usual for an encounter while diving!
