Seal Saved with Rescue Hook

Seal Saved with Rescue Hook
Spread The Viralist



A perfect scenario for rescuer Antoine – he has identified a big seal with a piece of packing strap around his neck at the Walvis Bay Harbour. The seal is resting on old tires at the jetty and does not hear or see him approach from behind, and Antoine can cut the entanglement with his rescue hook with one clean movement, and the animal is free to go.

  1. that is quite the sight to watch!
    i really like that hook cutter…. seems like it helps reach the seals that you otherwise would not be able to capture.
    excellent job, as always!

  2. You'll find that hook realy useful, I just know but even 1 life saved with it is good, but unfortunately I know you will be able to use it a lot more. Well done ,good design. Xx

  3. Last dive trip I went on had turned into a sudden rescue mission. Two seals were tangled into shreds of net by the flippers. It was tough but me an my Dad were able to trick them to go on land with fish we were gutting after hunting. I really appreciate what you guys do cuz that was HARD to do! But we were lucky an they took off with a fish head treats on their own separate ways.

  4. Tony has the greatest attitude, personality and skillset for this job. When he works alone, we are all entertained with his wit, wisdom and charm. Nice sneaky rescue with the long hook.

  5. Fantastic filming Antoine (along with your irreplaceable commentary of course😉) Was I the only one trying to crane my neck to look over the edge at that big boy with Antoine lol. Whoever devised that piece of 'kit' was an Einstein as it works brilliantly!!! Quick as a 'Denzil' and off he splashed 🌊🌊 Fab to see and the hook caught the strap too 😀😃 x x

  6. Gracias por su trabajo🦭🦭🦭🐳🐬🐠que DIOS me los bendiga siempre 💜❤️💚💙🧡🤍🖤🤎🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰por ese gran trabajo🦭🦭❤️❤️❤️❤️🙃🇲🇽

  7. LOVE. Antoine's commentary! "Hi buddy!! Im not here for you!", "He doesnt care. Hes looking at the sunset!" , love tge wsy you talk!! And again….that hook is SLICK!! Great save!!
