A scuba diving instructor in Byron Bay, Australia, put his safety on the line when he rescued a grey nurse shark from a fishing net near Julian Rocks on Aug. 16.

In a video that captured the rescue, diver Inaki Aizpun can be seen swimming after the shark several times, trying to remove the large piece of netting caught in its mouth. At times, the shark also appears to struggle to free itself from the net.
