Highly venomous sea snake filmed swimming to the ocean surface

High quality footage of a large sea snake making its way from deep water to the surface off the coast of Thailand.

The filmer later wrote online: "Like all reptiles, sea snakes have lungs and need to come to the surface to breath.

"Reptiles are capable of holding their breath for long periods of time in the ocean."

"This particular snake is highly venomous, with enough venom to easily kill a man; "however mostly docile on the reef, " he continued.
