This film begins with a performance by the mermaids at Weeki Wachee. The narrator describes the control it takes for the performers to dive. There are also scenes of eating and drinking underwater.

Brilliant - especially the part about the deep dive at the end. Only wish they had told us how long before she had to breathe!
