Watch as a group save a sea turtle after finding it dangerously tangled in a plastic sack and struggling to dive.

Joseph Silva captured the emotional rescue near Madeira, Portugal. The video shows the turtle floating at the surface of the ocean, unable to move freely because of the plastic debris wrapped around its body.

The rescuers carefully approach the animal and work together to remove the tangled material, allowing the turtle to move normally again.

Fortunately, the turtle appears to have no visible injuries and is in good health after being freed from the plastic.

The rescue clip was shared on Instagram and Joseph said: ""Good Karma for the day, saving this little friend that was tangled in a plastic sack and couldn’t dive, fortunately seemed like that it was recent, had no injuries and was in pretty good health!! Team effort saved this beauty.

One user commented: "Your godson says bring it home, how cute"
