GULF COAST, Fla. (WEAR) — A Florida sheriff's office released aerial video of shark-infested waters off the Gulf Coast last week.

The Pasco Sheriff's Office posted the video advising the public to "be aware of the dangers below the water."

The video shows dozens of sharks swimming near the Anclote Sandbar and Anclote Island, north of Tampa.

"A day in the water is a fun way to beat our Florida heat, but it's important to be aware of the dangers below the water as well as above," the post states.

May marks National Water Safety Month. The Pasco Sheriff's Office provided these safety tips in the post:

• Be cautious of your surroundings
• Learn to swim and always swim with a buddy
• Keep a fully charged phone and first aid kit close by for emergencies
• Never leave children unattended in or near water
