And remember if you’ve got an amazing story or experience of your own to share, you can e-mail us at aquaviews@gmail.com and to see it featured here.
Here’s one from Netherlands (Aug 18, 2007): In a fishing story to rival all others a Dutch scuba diver became the surprise catch of the day for a 13-year-old boy fishing in the Netherlands when his hook got caught in the man’s lip. “I heard a sound on my head and immediately I felt a jerk on my lip,” Wim van Huffelen, who had been swimming in the North Sea, was quoted as saying by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.
The diver had been swimming close to the shore near the southern Dutch town of Zierikzee. A doctor managed to free him from the hook.
