This is the amazing moment two beachgoers experience a very close encounter with a manta ray in shallow waters off Florida.
The drone footage shows the manta ray swimming just a few inches from the swimmers.
The filmer writes: ''While flying my drone in South Florida, I spotted a manta swimming really close to shore.
''As I followed it, it swam right by my friend Mario and a kid, who got a little startled.
''It's not every day you get to see a Manta in Florida let alone swim right next to it.''
The clip was captured on April 18.
