Story

We all have a precious memory early on in our lives that initially struck curiosity and wonder inside of us. Whether it was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, visions of underwater treasure, mermaids, Atlantis, the Kraken, or pirate fortune on the seafloor, this group of ocean enthusiasts dreamed of magic beneath the waves.

Enthralled by classic art images of divers in heavy antique gear and mermaids, this experienced underwater crew paid tribute to the beauty of the sea and the people that pioneered dive exploration by doing an actual vintage dive with a real-life mermaid in the ocean!
