Brave Divers Rescued Whale Shark
A brave team of divers performed an incredible rescue of a whale shark that had become caught in a piece of rope.
In December 2019, divers from Macana Maldives tour agency, Simone Musumeci and Antonio Di Franca were taking some clients on a guided dive in the island of Fuvahmulah, Maldives, when they spotted something extraordinary.
A huge whale shark was cruising the water around their boat with a thick rope tied around its body, between its head and its pectoral fins.
Simone said: “While the divers were slowly getting back on the boat, our guide Gianluca, who was on board, shouted ‘whale shark!’.

I think whale shark knew that divers were helping it. That’s a very positive outcome and thank you to divers who did that.
