DESTIN, FL – JULY 3: People wade in the water at the beach July 3, 2005 in Destin, Florida. Florida has experienced a recent spate of shark attacks, with three in the last week alone. An Austrian tourist was bit on the ankle July 1, while last Monday, June 27, a 16-year-old boy lost his leg not far from the area where a 14-year-old girl was killed the previous Saturday, June 25.

Somebody in a hotel in Panama City Beach, Florida filmed a shark getting dangerously close to a swimmer in the ocean below.

  In the beginning you see a dark object beneath the surface of the water.  It kind of looks like a manta ray.

After about a minute you can definitely tell it's a shark, and you hear people on the shore yelling at the swimmer to head back.  And just when it looks like the shark is going to attack, it turns and goes the other way.
