A unique relationship has developed in the ocean’s depths between a diver and sharks, the most ferocious animals there is. These predators frequently wind themselves in a precarious situation when they become entangled in fishing hooks.

Every act of kindness has a humble beginning. For thi diver it started with a simple yet profound desire to relieve the pain of her beloved sharks. She vividly remembers the day when one arrived with a hook deeply embedded in its jaw. In a moment of courage, she extended a helping hand, risking her safety to free the shark from its agony.

The Shift

The encounter with the shark whose hook she removed marked a profound transformation. Initially cautious, the shark gradually warmed up to her presence. This remarkable shift in the shark’s personality—from fearful to friendly—was enlightening for our diver.

As she continued to remove hooks from her known shark friends, an incredible thing occurred. Other sharks began to show up with hooks, seeking her assistance. This sparks a fascinating question: Do sharks communicate with one another? Thus sharing tales of the compassionate diver who eased their pain.

Removing hooks from these creatures is not merely a task. It is a sacred privilege. Our diver has understood that it’s done on the shark’s terms, not hers. Each time a shark leans into her, a deep sense of trust and abandonment permeates the moment. The connection forged between human and shark inspires me.
