The terrifying video showed the person joyfully relaxing in clear blue waters off a beach in Miami, Florida but unaware of the danger lurking below him.
As per the Sharksider, hammerheads have a great ability to create sudden and sharp turns.
Jason McIntosh, a drone photographer from Miami, captured this frightening footage.
On November 15, Jason was flying his drone over the ocean. Within 25 meters off from the shore, he captured this spectacular scene.
He said to the Press that he was flying the drone just at the south beach of Australia, trying to capture some great footage. However, the raw footage turned into something great but terrifying at the same time. His passion was to shoot wildlife within the ocean.
He also said that he had never seen hammerheads swimming within the shoreline before.
When he saw the guy floating backward, his eyes began to light up as he saw the hammerhead shark circling the swimmer. Jason was far away from the swimmer and there was no way to warn him.
The clueless swimmer was not aware of the shark’s presence. When he saw the drone, he even gave the thumbs-up sign.
The shark eventually swam off and the swimmer was unharmed.
Hammerheads sharks are lovers of warm water. They often cruise in shallow water or near the surface for an extended period of time.
Jason also said that the ocean belongs to them and not ours. We are in their environment. We are in their ocean.
His video has racked up over 100,000 views via Instagram. Many people who saw that video told Jason that it was epic footage.
