"During the one-day course, students are first taught the same breathing techniques freedivers use, and then are taught how to dive using a full mermaid tail."
The course is presented by FreeDiveUK as a way of promoting freediving as a sport. Students must be at least 16 years old to participate in the course.
Deeper Blue has all the information, including a link to FreeDiveUK's web site.
Merfest Photos
Here is an article from Boing Boing that features NC Merfest 2015 photographs by Arthur Drooker. The article by Andrea James shows just a few of Mr. Drooker's photos. Click the 'mermaid convention' link in the first paragraph of the article to see more of the collection.
Don't miss the wedding photo: "The bride wore a shiny tail while the groom donned a tuxedo T-shirt and black swim trunks - attendees splashed their congratulations as the ceremony came to an end."
Merfolk do love splashing!
