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