Marina Mermaid Shimmer and Sparkle Kit, 17 Litre

Product Information

Mermaiding is a worldwide phenomenon. There are pods in the Bahamas, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Morocco, and Albania. “I always tell folks to use Facebook to find their local pod,” says Mermaid Ché Monique. “Having more experienced ‘mers’ to swim with is invaluable.” Not only is the aquarium free it’s also one of the earliest aquariums to be installed in Las Vegas. The 50000-gallon tank features 300+ colored fish from international waters, e.g., pufferfish, triggerfish, and sharks. The Atlantis aquarium has the theme of the Atlantis city that fell according to history and myth. One imperative for mermaiding, though, is strong swimming skills. Newcomers should also take a mermaid class to learn how to safely swim in a tail and monofin (a single swim fin inserted into the bottom of your ‘tail’). Not to be confused with the animated Disney version, this tale is a live-action version released in 2018 featuring Poppy Drayton as the title character.

When Disney’s The Little Mermaid was released in 1989, I believed Walt Disney had X-rayed my nine-year-old soul. A decade later, as a fledgling writer in New York City, I lived for the annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade – strutting down the boardwalk in my wonky, lovingly-homemade mermaid costumes. I even met my fiancé at a beach lido in southern Italy called La Sirena del Mare (literally ‘mermaid of the sea’). If you ever wonder what a shark looks like a real up close or a sea turtle, you need to see one. Not in pictures and on cable but real close, like a few centimeters apart. And what better way to experience the sea effect than in an aquarium?

Up next on this list is a Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) called The Thirteenth Year, which aired in 1999. Like all DCOMs, this one had a thrilling plot, as it focused on a teenage boy who figured out that his mom is a mermaid. How did he discover this? Well, he started developing some scales and fins when he turned 13, of course! It crammed so much into this story, too. There is a singer named Sugar Kane who is being used by her agent. There is skydiving. There is a plan to make a boyfriend jealous. There is a group of bikers. There is a villain who kidnaps Sugar. And there is a character named Bonehead falling in love with a mermaid named Lorelei. Guests marvel as Ducharme’s mermaids – many of whom, like Ducharme, got their start at Weeki Wachee – swim among fish while wearing silicone Mertailor tails so realistic you’d expect them to feel fishy when touched. The archetypal image of a mermaid may be a thin, young, white female, but the real-life mermaid community includes all genders, shapes, races, and ages.

My tail is purple; Mermaid Bettina’s is fuchsia.In the USA, there are thriving mermaid communities in Texas, California and New England. But thanks to its bountiful springs, year-round swimming, and herds of manatees – once mistaken by sailors for beautiful sea-maidens – Florida has become mermaiding central. And the epicenter? None other than Citrus and Pasco counties – where I grew up. Las Vegas is home to a lot of things. Entertainment is the capital shareholder of the city and a big attraction to the multitude of visitors coming into the city every day. The hotel industry is one of the biggest on and off the strip, with big resorts like the Wynn and MGM incorporating more than gambling and hotel rooms to keep you and make you a loyalist. The shark tunnel at the aquarium has over 100 sharks coming from 15 different species. Some are small, and some big depending on the species but don’t let the size fool you. If any of them get the bite out of you, you may as well say goodbye to your folks. The common sharks are sand tigers, sandbars, and tip reef sharks. So where will you take your tail? Florida has gorgeous coasts, but its most popular mermaiding spots are its mild, clear springs, like Alexander Springs, Ginnie Springs and Rainbow Springs. Mermaid DD, a 51-year-old mermaid in Miami who performs as the String Siren, points out that while sea swimming is wonderful, “the sand and waves can make it more challenging, and [renting] boats cost money.” Note: not all springs allow tails. The Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay is the biggest water display park in all of Vegas. Housing 1.6 million gallons of water in a massive glass construct, the aquarium is undoubtedly an impressive work of art in the middle of the desert.

This is essential for the survival of the more than 2000 animals living there.
