Lacey Faisian, Casey Thompson and Keyston Eubanks were relaxing on a yellow floating platform off the shore of Pensacola Beach over Memorial Day weekend when suddenly boaters began shouting, “Shark!”, WALA reports.

“I thought: “Lord, protect us!” If it's time for us to leave, then it's time. Just protect us,” Eubanks told the publication.

Soon, seven hammerhead sharks were circling just inches from their plastic raft, and the women could do nothing but wait it out.

“They were right around us,” Faisian said. “They were right off the coast.” We swam where the water was knee-deep, waist-deep, so they were right next to the shore.”

Some of the sharks were estimated to be up to 8 feet (2,5 meters) long, but luckily they only circled the raft before swimming into deeper waters.

The women later said that the experience was not so much fear as excitement.

“Usually you have to pay for this, but we didn’t have to. So yeah, it was an amazing experience,” Faisian said.

“It’s very rare for a group of hammerheads to just float past you, so it’s a once in a lifetime experience,” Thompson added.

Some hammerhead sharks can be dangerous and make unprovoked attacks on humans, while others are more obedient.
