Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the water...

Two unsuspecting swimmers in Florida have been filmed just a few feet away from a hammerhead shark.

The video shows the pair strolling out of the sea as the shark approaches.

Those filming the video, from a penthouse at the Silver Beach Towers resort in Destin, can be heard shouting at the swimmers to get out of the water after trying to warn them about the shark.

It is only after several warnings do they realize they are sharing the water with

Two holidaymakers got the shock of their lives while taking a dip in Florida this week.
People high up in a penthouse at the Silver Beach Towers in Destin, near Fort Walton Beach, spotted a shark approaching the couple.
But despite screams and calls from the balcony for them to 'get out of the water', the pair did not hear.
Video of the terrifying incident surfaced online this week.

According to the people recording, the shark is a hammerhead.
Luckily for the swimmers, it appears to be hunting a nearby stingray.
However the shark comes extremely close to the pair without them noticing.
 
It is only when the suspected hammerhead causes a store in the water that the two realize what is happening right next to them.
Much to the relief of the people filming, the couple then quickly run from the water, which is only knee-deep.

The shark then heads back out into the deep, appearing to have caught the stringray.
Hammerheads can grow up to 20 feet long and of the 11 different species, only three have been known to attack humans, according to The New York Daily News.
