Every month, the thematic DIVEAHOLIC Pool Party features special guest appearances, and for the inaugural party, attendees were treated to ethereal mermaid performances by the visiting entourage of Mermaid Federation Institute (MFI) and an introductory presentation into the world of mermaidingby MFI Founder Alan Lam. Alan assured the crowd that everyone and anyone could be a mermaid or a merman, just as long as they were trained by a certified instructor. The founding member shared with the guests the available programmes at MFI and introduced
mermaid August Ho, ADEX Ambassador for Mermaids (China), and MFI Instructor Trainer, and merman Afa Zhang MFI Instructor Trainer. Both instructors shared their journey towards becoming a mermaid and a merman, the challenges of fusing the discipline of freediving and performing arts, and how the sport had changed their attitude towards the ocean.
