“Love with a mermaid is impossible, there are many reasons for this. But only one of them worries men who are so looking for love! Jokes are jokes, but at the sight revived mermaids from Weeki Wachee Springs amusement park in Florida many of the stronger sex are at risk of losing their heads! The park has existed for more than 60 years, interest in it either disappears or is warmed up with renewed vigor, but one cannot but admire the skill of the swimmers, who not only manage to swim underwater without masks, but also play real costume mini-performances!
Every day, about 645 liters of clean heated water are required in order to meet the needs of the park. Limestone underground caves of Weeki Wachee serve as a natural pool, mermaids dive to a depth of 16 to 20 meters during performances! A sufficiently strong current (about 8 km / h) is another test for underwater beauties.
In addition to the performance of mermaids, in the park you can take a walk in the magnificent garden, there even has its own jungle, a cozy beach, and everyone can take a boat ride or dive into the spring! The park was built in 1947 by former military man Newton Perry. He created a special diving technique, when the air was supplied to the girls using a special hose. Air gulps allow actresses to stabilize pressure on their ears and sinuses. Peri personally taught the girls many tricks, the highlight of his show was that the girls even managed to drink and eat under water. The clear clear water allows viewers to watch the show without being submerged in the water.
In the early years of the park's operation, mermaids themselves took to the roadway, inviting guests, but already in the 1950s, the fame of Weeki Wachee Springs spread far beyond the borders of one state. In the 1960s, mermaids gave 10 performances a day! Even stars like Elvis Presley, Arthur Godfrey and Kevin Smith have performed here! Today the park is not as popular as it used to be, the state strongly supports the unique project, because today there are 15 underwater beauties working in the park!
