NAPLES, Fla. β€” A curious pod of dolphins put on quite a show for some Florida firefighters earlier this week.

Video posted Wednesday by Naples Fire Rescue shows the playful pod leaping out of the water behind a moving boat.

Firefighter Michael Neal says on the video that he β€œwanted to pet one,” kneeling down and putting his hand into the water.

Neal spoke with WTSP in Tampa and said they were concluding a boat safety check on Monday when the dolphins paid them a visit, sticking around a few minutes.

On the department's Facebook page, Neal later wrote, "This is what you get when you have the best job in the world + the beautiful City of Naples, FL πŸ™πŸΌ #blessed."
