U.S. Shark appears to be asking diver for help and gets it; video

-




Joshua Eccles is being praised on Facebook after helping a lemon shark that persistently swam toward him in what appeared to be an attempt to ask for help.
Eccles was diving with Emerald Charters off Jupiter, Florida, on Wednesday when the encounter with the lemon shark occurred.

He told WPTV of West Palm Beach that the shark was nudging and bumping him, as if signaling something was wrong. Eccles felt compelled to check the shark over and spotted something protruding from its belly.
Chris Maddeford of Emerald Charters captured footage of what happened next:

It took two tries, but Eccles finally removed a huge, rusty hook from the lemon shark, earning him accolades from online commenters.
“Awesome!” one wrote. “You’re a hero, dude.”

“I was lucky enough to be on this dive!” Kimberly Smith wrote on the WPTV Facebook page. “Josh is amazing with the sharks, and it’s not the first time he’s removed hooks. But I’m thinking it’s the first time he’s removed a hook that was working its way out of the shark’s belly.”
Eccles is no stranger when it comes to working with sharks. His Facebook bio indicates he once worked as a shark feeder at Stuart Cove’s Dive Bahamas, so he obviously knows a thing or two about them.
As for the shark’s wound, Eccles said it “should heal up with no problems.”

Nigeria is a very dynamic country. We can never cease to have one hot news/gist or the other. After Evan’s(the kidnapper) arrest, the next big thing is the imminent launch of TSTV Africa Nigeria Limited. This is the word on every lip. The writing of most news and entertainment bloggers. I cannot wait to see how this unfold. I learnt it will make use  hybrid broadcast broadband TV(HBB).  Hbb is an improvement on Internet protocol television(IPTV). It combines satellite, terrestrial and internet to provide end consumers with television services. Only a fool will not want the progress of his country. If this happens, satellite tv will be cheaper in Africa starting with Nigeria. They intend to offer “direct to home” satellite television service. Do not underestimate the power of the consumers. Am looking at the buzz surrounding TSTV Africa from a different perspective entirely. That of a “wake-up call” on all existing payTV companies in Nigeria out of which D*TV is the leade

Once this is launched officially in November, it simply means consumers will have serious choice issues to deal with. The question will be should I go for GOtv Max where I can watch selected sports events including EPL, La Liga, UCL and others?.

If your customers are not happy, you as the company can never be happy. I just wish they can practically do better. In the m
