Florida deputy strips down to swimsuit to rescue boogie boarders struggling in the ocean

An unusual water rescue caught on dash cam has hailed one Volusia County deputy a hero. 

On September 27, Deputy Warner spotted two boogie boarders struggling in the water off Daytona Beach.  

Upon seeing the duo struggle, she stripped down to her swimsuit that she was wearing under her uniform and dashed into the ocean along with two lifeguards. 

Moments later, the two boogie boarders can be seen in what appears to be good health. 

Just last week, another deputy out of Flagler County was credited for helping rescue two swimmers struggling in a rip current.

Video shared with FOX 35 shows the moment Officer Coffman and another rescuer returned to shore. In it, you can see one of the men they helped rescue was visibly exhausted but unhurt. 

A witness said she was getting off work at Tortugas when she witnessed Officer Dylan Coffman rush to the scene near 7th Street and A1A.

Choppy waters can also bring sharks closer to shore during this time of the year. 

On September 12, two surfers were bitten by sharks at Central Florida beaches within 24 hours. 

One man, Bill Eveland, was surfing at Satellite Beach with his friends when he decided to go for one last set. 

"When I came up from the wave is when the shark kind of hit a glancing blow to my lower right back, and I knew I'd been hit," Eveland said. "I glanced to the right and I could see the back end of the shark coming off, like where my board [was] and enter back into the water."

Another surfer came face to face with a shark at New Smyrna Beach when he jumped off a wave near the jetty and encountered a shark underwater which bit his face.
