Obses Nak Jadi Duyung
Lifestyle: Eric Ducharme, 22, has been obsessed
with mermaids for as long as he can remember, taking his passion to a
peculiar, public lifestyle in Florida's waterways while wearing a fake
fin
Passion: Ducharme ignores any bizarre glances
from spectators on shore but continues his unique passion in the Florida
springs roughly three times a week
Sea legs: When he was aged 16 he first started
swimming in a merman suit publicly at Weeki Wachee Springs Little
Mermaid show as a little merprince
Suiting up: Back on dry land the 22-year-old shows how he shimmies into his wet suit on a dock surrounded by kayaks
Occupation: Today Ducharme runs his own business
called Mertailor that manufactures custom-made tails from silicone,
urethanes, and latex rubbers like the ones he wears
Products: Ducharme shows off some of his mermaid
tails waiting to be shipped out to buyers, with a few shell tops for
the ladies hanging also directly behind him
Acceptance: No matter how you see it, he
describes the tails as 'a fun and exciting physical activity' that his
family and even boyfriend have accepted
Tailor: At the age of 13 he was making his own tails that were good enough to sell and donate to the Weeki Wachee Springs
Sight to see: In Ducharme's earlier days he also doubled as a model, seen here wearing a fin as a teenager at an event in Dallas, Texas
