At 11am, a whale-watching boat reported a distressed whale thrashing at the surface in Ha\u2019apai, Tonga. The young female was caught in a float line, with a chain pulling tightly around her tail and anchoring her to the sea floor 70 metres below. A rescue boat was quickly launched from the nearby resort, carrying four experienced whale guides - Dickie, Aaron, and Toby Goddard from Cornwall, UK, and Australian guide Miesa Grobbelaar - along with resort owner Darren Rice from Sussex, UK. Darren said: \u201cUsing cutting tools, the team entered the water and found the whale stressed but surprisingly calm.  \u201cAfter a tense operation, they managed to sever the chain and release her from the entanglement. \u201cIn a moving moment, the whale circled the divers slowly before swimming away into deeper waters - free and unharmed.\u201d Viewers were stunned with one commenting: \u201cAmazing! Well done and thank you for saving her with urgency and care!\u201d With a second watcher adding: \u201cLegends! I just love how they know they are being helped. She\u2019ll be a regular now for sure, popping in to see those who saved her!\u201d ENDS","author_name":"Caters Clips","author_url":"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/CatersClips","width":480,"height":269,"html":"<iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"269\" src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player.html?video=x9o7rt6&\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/s2.dmcdn.net\/v\/Yt6IA1fYrFGkJ5cro\/x240","thumbnail_width":427,"thumbnail_height":240}
