I was searching for it this time. This was the second time. In exactly the same spot and the same time of day of the first one. (Watch the first one: "Was This a Mermaid?", first page of my channel.) I have gone back four more times now with no further lack. My guess? A group of mermaids swimming up the Australian coast in its way to the tropics. A group, did I say? That's my belief, watch carefully both videos, the tails of these animals are slightly different

Mermaid or Good Swimmer?

    This is 2008. Do people REALLY believe in mermaids! Do you have a movie with an unicorn, or maybe with a flying elephant?

  • Camera...

    I like the way the camera is held in one spot as if you are expexting something and you do not pan around or atempt to follow through the swim-by, as she appears out of the murky water which has very little visability, from a distance how did you see her coming ? Where did she go?

    • camera

      I was expecting/searching her (you can read the description). I don't know where she went, I couldn't tilt my camera any more. I invite anyone to give it a go. Get a camera inside a box and jump to the bottom of a coral reef. See what images you get. I am not a professional cameraman and down there is difficult to see, let alone operate a camera!

    • You freak

      "mermaids were actually extremely ugly creatures" - when was this - back when they existed??!! Newsflash dude, they're fictional - like centaurs, dragons, unicorns etc...

      And how might it be 'just a good diver'?? Jeez louise, a good diver with a fish's tail for legs?

      How about the guy who posted it created it in photoshop or some editing suite?

    • editing

      This material is not edited, is a single shot of raw original footage. There is not any trickery applied to it. I have seen Photoshop but I don't use it and I don't have it. I believe Photoshop can't just create footage!

    • erm dude

      maybe what he means is that it's two bits of separate footage spliced together using an editing suite? He got a chick in a costume to do the first bit then spliced on the footage of the marlin. Wait - this is the clip with the Marlin, isn't it? Anyway, all I want to say is, shut up.

      this may be edited..but ive met people who CAN swim this way.

    • I think anyone who can swim

      can do a bit of dolphin kick to propel themselves if they try.

      Still doesn't account for those strange feet your diver has got.

    • Dragons are not mythical

      the word "Dinosaur" was not coined until the 1800s so any sitings of Dragons and monsters were not refered to as Dinosaurs. - Just a bit of trivia

    • They had dinosaurs in the 1800s?

      Wow, I didn't know that. I thought they were like millions of years old, but it turns out we had them up to a hundred years ago.

      Fascinating!

      PS - you mean 'sightings'

  • You are all worng and all right...

    *Clears throat* Mermaids do exist, they are just not known as mermaids anymore.
    Back in the days of the world being sailed a lot, the men aboard the ships would see figures swimming along side or dive deeper to avoid them, they were called mermaids due to the fact that back then men preferred larger women, not thin women and the figures looked a lot like large woman swimming along the ships trail. What where these figures? Well today they are known as sea elephants. No humanoid individual could tolerate the depths so called mermaids would venture off too, even if they had gills, they would be crushed. In the video, the so called mermaid who I will call a hired actress with expertise in athletic swimming and very good lungs is closer to the surface than the the dude holding the camera, it's all about angle. now maybe he didn't know she was coming, maybe it was a hoax on him, all in all, dude, for an armature, you got the angle down just right to make it sort of convincing that it was not an expected event. I for one watched it over and realized, no he was not seeing her as she was approaching, he was actually beginning to pan away from that spot when movement started. So I think, you, my poor fellow, were played real hard while you were on vacation. If that is what you were doing at the time of this footage. The reason why I think this guy truly believes he saw a mermaid... his first video, he was not expecting to see that and was breathing rather erratically. Not good dude.... Now for that Dragon and dinosaur thing. LMAO What generation is this?
    Are we only now beginning to realize that Dragons were actually our prehistoric predecessors? I knew that when commonsense kicked in. They had to dig to make their foundations to you know...It's scientists and religion that had a big part in keeping every one confused with the whole thing. Just listen to your common sense and you'll survive this twisted world we live in.

  • Look at the clues

    The so called "mermaid" was swimming towards the surface obviously to get oxygen and this is why the clip is cut short. Another thing is that if there were mermaids they would have evolved gills and how would it reproduce without males ive never heard of a merman. If it was a fish it would lay eggs underwater and a mammal gives live birth except for whales and there is no way that this "mermaid" is a hybrid of species because for animals to mate their genes and dna must be closely related. Not trying to blow your cover but im not fooled easily =-XD

      I bet you 10bucks if he had to see a nasty-ass shark ,the camera wouldnt have been that stable, but you know,mermaids are no big deal to him since he is so used to seeing them...damn, i wish i was that lucky.

  • mermaid

    If you look closely, just before she comes into view ,her arms appear to be flopping around in an unnatural way that suggest that she could have just been set in the water or was already in the water waiting to be pulled past the camera when it was in position. They continue to just flop by her sides as she comes past the camera and are not actually propelling her at all. It is a dummy of some sort. This was cleaver but is a hoax and pure entertainment.

    But not good enough. Anyone who saw something like that for real would try to follow it, but the cameraman, very conveniently, failed to do so.

      the Mermaid put some kind of magic spell on him?

      dude i don't mean to be rude but have you seen other mermaids before that you judge the way they should be

      i mean, an ostritch is a bird that has one of the largest wings yet it can't really fly. as well as chickens. so....?

      give some credit to what you see rather than judge the outward appearance of something
