5 things you need to know about the Wreck Bar’s burlesque mermaids

MIAMI — What does it take to be an underwater performer at the Wreck Bar?

Swimming skills. Breathing skills. And a lot of patience.

Home to the only underwater burlesque show in the U.S., the Wreck Bar at B Ocean Resort in Fort Lauderdale is the underwater playground of Marina Anderson, aka the mermaid MeduSirena, and her team. In addition to the burlesque shows, they perform in a family-friendly show involving a treasure hunt on Saturdays and swim during a Mermaids & Mimosas brunch on Sundays.
