Legendary Italian diver Enzo Mallorca was practicing diving off the coast near Syracuse, accompanied by his daughter Rossana, who had stayed on the boat. Suddenly, he felt something gently touch his back under the water. When he turned around, he saw a dolphin, but it clearly wasn't there to play. Was trying to communicate something.

The dolphin plunged into the depths, and Enzo followed. About 15 meters deep, he discovered another dolphin that had gotten trapped in an abandoned fishing net and was fighting for its life. Enzo called his daughter to pass him a diving knife and quickly managed to free the animal. The dolphin, exhausted and close to drowning, emitted a scream, something Enzo would later describe as almost human.

A dolphin can only hold its breath for about ten minutes, and this one was close to his limit. They helped him to surface, where it was unexpectedly revealed that she was a pregnant. Shortly after, she gave birth to her calf, while the other dolphin, the father, swam around in the water.

Then, he swam to Enzo, touched his cheek in a gesture that resembled a grateful kiss, and disappeared with his little family into the sea.
After the experience, Enzo reflected with the following words:
Until man learns to respect nature and understand the language of animals, he will never realize his rightful place on Earth.

The incident is a reminder of nature's intelligence and our responsibility to protect it.
