Shark approaches divers for help getting free from fishing lure

A shark has approached a group of divers for help getting freed from a fishing lure attached to its mouth.

The divers were swimming with Port Jackson sharks in Sydney’s Botany Bay when they came across one shark that had a large lure inside its mouth.

A video uploaded by YouTube user rmbl83 showed the shark attempting to wrestle the divers as they tried to free the lure from its mouth.

After two attempts, the divers were able to release the shark from the lure.

The hook remained inside its mouth, however they are designed to dissolve over time.
