The divers, Cameron Nimmo and Randy Jordan, sedate the sharks by flipping it upside down to remove a hook protruding from its mouth. The hooks are often left in the sharks after being caught and released by fishermen.

The pair, who go by the name Shark Addicts, came across a 6-foot Silky shark while swimming off the coast of Jupiter, Florida, earlier this month. During the encounter Randy gently turns the shark upside down while Cameron removes the hook.

Randy, who also runs Emerald Charter boat tours, says on average about 75 percent of the ten to twenty sharks they encounter have hooks in them, according to Barcroft TV. The pair hope their videos will raise awareness about sharks' precarious position in the ecosystem and show that humans pose more of a threat to them than they do to us.
