This is the breathtaking moment a freediver swam up close with a beautiful endangered sea turtle in the Philippines.

LJ Acosta Gatal was gliding near the seafloor where she and colleagues encountered the large 'green sea turtle' that was larger than her

She dived peacefully alongside the marine reptile, wearing a full-face scuba mask and suit in Bohol province on March 8. The region is known for its stunning marine life.

The diving instructor said: 'I was there to guide a fun dive activity. The place was very beautiful, so many people wanted to go there and experience the turtles.'

The green sea turtle is classed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
