A Real-Life Mermaid Who Swims With Sharks Using Her Fish Tail And Holds Breath For 2 Minutes

ADVERTISEMENT

In honor of our charity of the month, The Sea Shepherd Nature Conservation Society, I decided to reach out to Hannah Mermaid and learn a little bit more about her and her ocean advocacy.

Hannah, a real-life mermaid, takes beautiful photos in the ocean with many different ocean animals but mostly whales, dolphins, sharks, and manta rays in the act of advocacy for their plight.

The mermaid, in particular as a character, represents a unique bridge between the human and ocean world. Hannah is hoping to inspire a connection back to nature with her underwater photography, and offer a voice to communicate the environmental issues that face us in regards to ocean health.

“The ocean is our lifeblood. If we mess it up with water pollution, overfishing, and killing these incredible species that hold the knowledge and the wisdom of the ocean, it’s only a matter of years before the rest of civilization crumbles. We can’t survive without the ocean. It’s the womb of the world. We are 70% water. We must realize that we have a completely symbiotic relationship with the ocean.” -Hannah Mermaid

At first I was like "so she dresses up as a half fish and swims with sharks?!?!!?" and then I was like "oooh whale sharks okay" and now I'm like, "cool message wish I could do that".

More than just whale sharks. There's some tiger and black tip sharks in that video. Likewise a still shot of her with a tiger shark in the pics line up.

That was truly amazz~zing and beautiful! Seeing all of these 'animals' swimming side by side makes you really appreciate their size and the calmness of their bodies.....and souls. Mahalo for sharing.

Unfortunately, she’s not the first one to accomplish. This, there was a girl in 1988 who started doing this in the Florida islands does a child, but yet she goes around and saying she was the first even though she was in contact with other Mermaid Performers. She completely stole her story and claims to be the first and only want to be doing this. It’s simply not true http://elliegabrielle.weebly.com/mermaid-life

Mermaid spell offers magic ring that can turn ones leg into real fish tail of mermaid. I got one for my self after i joined the family of mermaid, the ring is also blessed by the gods of the ocean with good lucks, money and power to protect. Once you say a world to the ring and then touch water it transform into a real fish tail. Mermaid email is: joinmermaidfamily@gmail.com i consider myself the most lucky person in the world to have one.

I'm happy i finally got the right spell caster that gave me the powerful magic ring that can turn me into real fish beautiful mermaid tail any time i want to. I just say a word to the ring and i poses a real tail and do not have to wear a plastic tail to look like one. Over 3 months of joining the real mermaid family things have become very easy for me, i have automatically become a good swimmer, anytime i need money i just read the mermaid book given to me by them and do the needful rituals. I'm benefiting a lot as part of the mermaid family and i'm prepared to contest in the America got talent show, i'm not suppose to share the contact but we all have to help save and protect the ocean. Note: she is always busy and don't like disturb after she gives you instructions. Here is the real mermaid and merman spell contact: joinmermaidfamily @ gmail . com

OMG I can't even put my head underwater never mind doing what she's doing...! How can anyone be that comfortable underwater with no breathing apparatus? And aren't those sharks dangerous?? She may not have a tail on land but she really is a mermaid under the water.

I felt a little scared when looking through the photographs. Her work seems risky. Still beautiful.

Exquisite photography and a lovely addition to sea life. Real or mythical, those of us who love the lakes and oceans feel envy and wish we, too, could participate in this glorious underwater ballet.
