Giant manta ray asked a diver to save his life | Chronic

A giant manta ray, three meters long, approached to ask for help from a group of divers near the coast of Ningaloo (Western Australia). The animal had several hooks in his right eye and that was the reason he had trouble with the water.

The images of the meeting show how the creature "He stayed completely still" while the underwater photographer Jake Wilton I removed the hooks gently.

This man recounted that the cover had approached him "more and more" until he turned around to show him the organ that was hurting him and, when he dived several times "to see how I would react to being around", the animal has not moved.

"I often guide divers in the area and it's as if I recognize myself and hope to be able to help. ", confessed Witon, who removed these objects that could generate an infection, cause blindness and even cause death to Freckles, nicknamed by him (Freckles in English).

Monty Halls, a British marine biologist who was aboard the ship at that time, ensures that the manta ray "He absolutely understood what was going on".
