Turtle Entangled in a Balloon in the Middle of the Ocean Gets Rescued by Jet Skiers
Anyone can find themselves in a distressing situation and need help to escape it. Animals are no exception, and we owe a big thanks to those kind-hearted individuals who go the extra mile to rescue animals in distress.
Once upon a time in Palos Verdes, a day at the beach turned into a life-saving rescue for two young jet skiers. The two men were riding off the coast of Palos Verdes when they noticed what appeared to be a yellow balloon; however, as they got closer, they realized it was a helpless Loggerhead turtle fighting for its life.
The two heroes did not hesitate to rescue the poor creature from the perilous situation it had found itself in! They certainly went home that day with a sense of accomplishment for having saved the turtle.
Meet Bryce Trevett, who was out on a jet ski with his friend Angel Hernandez off the coast of Palos Verdes when they came across the distressed animal. The two friends were about 12 miles off the coast when they noticed what they thought was trash floating in the water.
They decided to investigate, and as they got closer, they discovered it wasn't just trash, but a turtle tangled in a yellow balloon. The men jumped into the water immediately to save the tiny creature.

They were glad to be in the right place at the right time because the sea turtle would not have survived without their assistance. The sea creature was completely entangled in the balloon and could barely move its head or front flippers.

Fortunately, the two jet skiers cut it free and watched it enjoy its freedom once more. They even recorded the rescue event for others to see.
Surprisingly, this was not the first time Trevett and Hernandez had rescued a Loggerhead turtle that had become entangled in a balloon or something else that people had discarded in this body of water.
