Sea Turtle caught in fishing net successfully rescued

These people encountered an entangled sea turtle while heading to the Marietas Islands National Park located near Punta Mita and Puerto Vallarta in the Banderas Bay area, Mexico. The turtle was wrapped around fishing net that already had two dead birds trapped in it. Dive Instructor Christian H. Hauser approached the scene on Captain Yeyo's boat, the "Mama Juana", jumped into the water with a pocket knife, swam to the turtle and gently started cutting the net. After a couple of minutes, the turtle was successfully rescued and was able to swim freely!
