Rey To The Rescue- Solmar V Divemaster Saves Dolphin!

By Joseph Tepper, March 10, 2011 @ 06:30 PM (EST)

This week, a Divemaster working on the Solmar V –one of the premier liveaboards for underwater photographers– rescued a tangled dolphin off of San Benedicto Island in the Revillagigedo chain.

Rey, a veteran Divemaster of 18 years and the most experienced in Socorro, noticed the dolphin struggling in an entangled mess of a fishing line and was first to arrive on the scene. Turning its belly up, the dolphin waited patiently as Rey was able to unwind the line- the dolphin even went to the surface for a breath, before returning to let the Divemaster finish the job! Even more amazing, Rey said he could really feel the dolphin communicating with him and asking for help.

Rey to the Rescue!

What a wonderful ending to an incredible fish-tale by the fantastic folks at Solmar V!
