Whale Rescue Tangle in Net Jacques Cousteau

Here is one of the first whale rescue videos shot by the man who opened up the ocean to the world. Jacques Cousteau. Whales have been getting caught in nets during migration. Here the dive team free a Humpback Whale.

Watching Cousteau as a child sparked my desire for the sea and its creatures.

Because of Cousteau I love the sea, Zodiac boats, am a member of the large whale disentanglement team

I just saw that you are a member of a disentanglement team. How exciting and wonderful. Thank you for doing that.

Thank you so much for posting this touching and joyful video. I so miss Jacques Costeau. When will humanity re-discover that small people destroy and dominate, great people use their gifts to protect and nurture, and are capable of loving.

thanks for posting. I cant help smiling with tears. This brief video is an extract of 2 hours patience, care and building trust between that little whale and the divers.

Cousteau, a household name for years. It reminds me he 's the pioneer to show how man approach the ocean and marine companions.
