KONA, HI - Divers in Hawaii were able to lend a hand to a needy dolphin.

In the video above you can see a bottlenose dolphin approach a diver who notices his fin is entangled in fishing line.

The diver uses a knife to cut away at the line, freeing the dolphin.

The group was on a night dive to view manta rays off the coast of Kona, Hawaii.

They said they've helped free manta rays from entanglement before and that the dolphin showed interest in getting some help for himself.
