Brave Divers remove hooks from Shark's mouth

A diver sedates a shark by flipping it upside down to remove a hook protruding from its mouth. They have made it their mission to help sharks that have been pierced with fishing hooks and remove them from their mouths, noses, and bodies. The hooks are often left in the sharks after being caught and released by fishermen. The pair, who go by the name Shark Addicts, came across a 6ft Silky shark while swimming off the coast of Jupiter in Florida, USA. During the encounter Diver gently turns the shark upside down while another Diver removes the hook. They hope their videos will raise awareness about sharks' precarious position in the ecosystem and show that humans pose more of a threat to them than they do to us.
