Mermaiding is the act of \u201cbecoming a mermaid\u201d by wearing a mermaid tail for swimming, modelling or performance art.<\/p>\n

Bali<\/a> and Lombok<\/a> in Indonesia, famous islands for diving and snorkelling<\/a> among other tourist lures, are now also exceedingly popular for mermaiding.<\/p>\n

Never heard of it? Not likely, unless you went to the same D-A-I-Y-E spa as Zoolander<\/a>, you’ll recall his mermaid modelling photos (er, merman). Then a lot of models did it<\/a> for Vogue in 2012. The Gigi Hadid of Bali,<\/a> Inka Williams, dressed up<\/a> in Komodo with the Island Mermaids team. Cara Delevigne also portrayed a mermaid<\/a> in Pan.<\/p>\n

Bottom line, models love mermaiding. And now the rest of us can also have our very own sequinned or scaled mermaid tails and underwater mermaid pictures.<\/p>\n

Mermaid Tails and Fins<\/h3>\n

Mermaid tails for children and adults are sold in stores and online. A huge range of products has become available, with prices from $30 up to $300 for bejewelled silver and gold mermaid tails.<\/p>\n

For safety, it is important to know which are mermaid tails specially designed for swimming, versus tails which may be intended as costumes for dress-up only, so be sure to check.<\/p>\n

Thoughtfully designed, carefully produced and beautifully modelled, these swimsuits really caught my eye. Each one is made locally and responsibly in Bali (needless to say, so are the high-quality swimmable tails from Island Mermaids). Now, which one should I buy?<\/p>\n

Mermaiding Day Trips<\/h3>\n

If like me, you prefer the swimwear and don’t want to buy a mermaid TAIL for keeps, you can trade your legs for fins just for a day. Mermaiding at a gorgeous tropical beach is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and swimming with a finned tail doesn’t come naturally to everyone, so mermaiding outings with instruction are popular.<\/p>\n
