A freediver swam alongside a giant sea turtle that dwarfed her in size on the ocean floor.

Footage shows swimmer Jel Lovino, 29, gliding underwater over coral reefs with the marine mammal named Wigo in Siquijor province, the Philippines, on January 8.

Jel wore goggles to help her see clearly under the sea and flippers so she could move easily. Wigo was calm and gently paddled forward without leaving Jel as they explored the ocean.

She said: 'The scenes were breathtaking. Wigo is Siquijor's resident sea turtle. She let me swim alongside her. That was one unforgettable underwater journey.'
