These scuba divers managed to locate and untangle a fish stuck in a ghost fishing line that was lodged on some coral in Mossel Bay, South Africa.

The divers carefully cut away the fishing lines wrapped around the fish using a pair of scissors before allowing the fish to swim away freely.

Mark Graham, who filmed this footage, told Newsflare: "Last clean up dive before lockdown in Mossel Bay South Africa. We found so much trash at our clean up site along with miles of fishing line. We found a fish trapped in the fishing line that was still alive. we untangled it and set it free."

This footage was filmed on March 24.
