A group of divers was exploring coastal waters when a large silhouette appeared from the depths of the ocean. At that moment the divers realized that the shark asked for help. It had a fishing hook in its mouth. A man from the diving team approached and removed the hook, and 3 months later the shark met him again and thanked the man.
