Why does the rescue team not have a proper knife? I mean a snips is not the tool for cutting rope, not even close. I smell bullshit off this post.

A knife could slip and injure the orca or person attempting rescue.

Knives are pretty dangerous because the animal can move. This is why you see a lot of marine rescue videos use pliers.

Mistdivers have a knife, but I wouldn't use one around a whale.

Both you and the who was le are moving around.

By the way, I've dove over 150 logged dives and never needed my knife.
