Diver has incredible face to face encounter with giant anaconda.

The diving duo films the reptile while inspecting the camera in front of it before sliding down the river bed.

The director, Bove, told Newsflare: "The rivers and water bodies around the Bonito area are the only places in South America where it is possible to find anacondas in crystal clear waters and, therefore, it is possible to dive with them.

"As shown in the video, the anaconda is nothing calm and peaceful, completely indifferent to our presence, sometimes it becomes more curious about my camera that licks the lens.
