OK……I’m not pulling your leg here!

 A California man lost consciousness while scuba diving near Catalina Island late last month . . . and got saved by mermaids. Yes, mermaids!

A bunch of women were taking an advanced mermaid swimming class nearby, and swam to his rescue….yes, complete with their mermaid tails. 

Their instructor was the first to get there, did mouth-to-mouth while he was still in the water, and saved the guy’s life.
