This man dived into the sea off Islamorada, Florida, to unhook a shark that had become stuck on a fishing line.

A nurse shark is seen swimming in circles on the end of a fishing line.

The man manages to grab hold of the fish and unhook the line from its mouth.

He said: "Because the dock was high off the water I had to hop in the water with the shark to remove the hook. Luckily they are nurse sharks so they have very few teeth to worry about...just hard to hold onto."
