WATCH: Boy dives off bridge, lands on manatee
This was the amazing moment a teenage boy bravely diving off the wooden bridge and landed on a manatee.
Another boy is seen balancing backwards on the bridge before the shot pans to the water.
As soon as the boy hits the water he comes up and says 'I hit my f***ing face on the water'.

His mate holding the camera says 'you hit a manatee bro'.
The camera then turns around and the shadow of a manatee can be seen swimming away from the bridge.
The boy in the water then quickly swims out of the river.
Manatees, sometimes called sea cows, are known for their relaxed pace and are graceful swimmers in coastal waters and rivers.
They power themselves with their strong tails and can be seen gliding along at 8 kilometers an hour but can swim 15 miles (24 kilometers) an hour in short bursts.
