Intelligent Manta Ray Asks a Diver For Help to Help To Save Her Life (Pics & Video)

Scuba diving photographer Jake Wilton was diving when the huge ray approached him with its fins extended. When he saw the hooks right under her eye, he decided to try and help. The underwater photographer dived down to five metres multiple times to remove them with a pair of pliers, which could prevent her developing an infection and potentially going blind. I often guide divers in the area and it seemed as if she recognized me and trusted me to help her, Wilton said in a statement.
