MEET one of the magical wonders of the deep at Deep Sea World next weekend as the aquarium reveals its latest fishy attraction: a 'mermaid'!
From 8th to 10th August, the aquarium’s resident three-metre-long sand tiger sharks and giant stingrays will be joined in their 3.8-million-litre Underwater Safari display by Dr Daniela Rodler, whose spectacular underwater performances have produced rave reviews across Europe.
Staff are anticipating her daily dive shows will prove particularly popular with younger visitors.
“Daniela caused something of a sensation last year and we’re expecting her return visit will really cause a stir,” said Deep Sea World’s Chris Smith.
“We’re delighted she has agreed to come back to Deep Sea World we’re expecting her performances to prove a spectacular added attraction to our visitors."
As well as her role as a mermaid, Daniela is a former international swimmer and a qualified vet who is currently lecturing at the University of Munich.
She is also a choir soprano singer who performed at the Lord of the Rings Symphony in Munich, Nürnberg and Stuttgart and in the Pirates of the Caribbean Symphony at the Munich Philharmonic.
In addition to that she recently completed a fantasy film, has done modelling work and is a proficient free diver.
