A professional mermaid who could not swim when she first took on the role has saved a scuba diver’s life with CPR after finding him unconscious at sea.
Originally a dancer, Elle Jimenez, 33, of Miami, Florida, now works full time as a ‘mermaid’, performing aquatic shows and teaching people to swim with a monofin – or mermaid’s tail – and training them in vital safety and rescue skills.
