A group of whale watchers in the Gulf of California have become conservation heroes.
The three men rescued a humpback whale which had become entangled in a discarded fishing net.
When they first saw the creature she was floating motionless on the surface and they feared she was dead.
But she then made a loud, groaning-like sound and when they got closer it became clear what was wrong.
They immediately set about freeing the whale - which repaid their efforts in the most spectacular fashion.
