I saw this the other day on yahoo but didn't have time to watch. That's really amazing. The dolphin knew he was in trouble and somehow, knew a human could help, then trusted him enough to "lie" there while he was being helped.

Pretty cool that the diver noticed the fishing line and took action. Overall, an amazing interaction between them. The diver must have been high on adrenaline for hours after that.

It's simple, either you get the wave or the wave gets you.

What makes this special is that the Dolphin knew the driver could help. It really is amazing.
