SHANGRALA'S

REAL LIFE MERMAID!

      Meet the real life mermaid who swims with jellyfish and can hold her breath under water for up to five minutes. Linden Wolbert travels the world as a full time professional mermaid. She uses her custom-made 6ft Hydro-dynamic tail, which weighs 35lb, took seven months to make and cost $10,000 to propel herself through the water.
      The 32-year-old freediver and model can swim to depths of 115ft and uses her skills to promote ocean conservation and education.
      Linden, from Los Angeles, California, said: 'I grew up as a water baby. My parents are both competitive swimmers. I always looked forward to going to the ocean for our summer vacation. I had a magnetism to the water. I've kind of always been a free diver but didn't realise the sport existed until ten years ago. Shortly thereafter, is when I began training. Free diving is 70 per cent psychological. You have to be very calm and at ease in the water.'
      In some of these amazing images, Linden is seen swimming in Jellyfish Lake on the island of Palau, which used to be connected to the Pacific Ocean. Since it has been cut off, it has become home to millions of jellyfish because they have no risk of predators. The 12,000 year-old lake is the only place in the world where you can swim safely among them because the sea creatures have lost their sting.
      These images were taken of her by diver and underwater photographer Wendy Capili-Wilkie, who lives on the island of Palau. Enjoy! :)
