A batfish was seen hitching a ride on a turtle's back.

Footage shows the tropical sea creature perched on the marine animal's shell off Tioman Island in Pahang, Malaysia.

Tourist Yilyn Chan was diving as he followed the pair gliding over coral reefs.

She joked: ‘Who would have thought ride-hailing services could exist underwater?'

Batfish sometimes ride on turtles to save energy or seek protection from predators.

By staying close to a larger companion, the fish can move effortlessly through the water while remaining safer from threats.
