Mer Tails Tale

 Diversity is always good and it can also be interesting/surprising. One of those interesting groups,Merfolk,was launched in the UK in 2017. The woman who started the group didn't think there would be many like minded people for the group but since its inception it has grown to around 100 people who meet as often as they can to don their tails and have a flipping good time. Most of the tails are made of silk or other fabrics and cost from $139-$279 but the best tails are made of silicone and start at around $1,672. Most of the Merfolk also practice free diving,enabling them to swim underwater longer without any other special equipment. I don't think my claustrophobia would allow me to swim with what amounts to my legs being tied together but they certainly make it look like fun.
