Mermaid performer

"Her hair the color of the moon
and scattered through with pearls.
Her skin shimmering out of the water,
catching the light and turning to diamonds.
It was not human, this creature."

  • Munich Mermaid
    "What shall I say? I´m a classical mermaid. I constantly search for a human soul, desperately lose my heart, intensely suffer from curiosity, vainly look in the mirror, hopelessly wait for the prince but yet I gaze into the dry lands from afar. I would be doomed if I get marooned on an island of tedium."
    Daniela Rodler


    Hi, my name is Daniela Rodler and as well as my profession as a veterinary research scientist, I am a professional mermaid performer, underwater model and actress from Munich, Germany, who can be hired for TV and movies, aquarium, tank, photo, art, music video, commercial, exhibition, or special events, such as swimming with children at charity events. I´m very proud of my international mermaid appearances in several famous public aquariums across the globe such as SEALIFEs Munich and Hannover, Germany, DEEP SEA WORLD AQUARIUM Edinburgh and BLUE PLANET AQUARIUM Chester, UK, SILVERTON CASINO Las Vegas and DIVE BAR Sacramento USA , all of which have resulted in much acclaim as an underwater performer.

    I am a former competition swimmer, trainer and a PADI certified scuba- and apnea diver. Since 2008, I combined my diving, modelling, performing, dancing and acting experiences in order to realize people´s dreams and wishes for a magical and mythological creature. Hence, I felt the need to start "authentic movement training" of a true and credible mermaid. I am ambitious to represent this legendary being as realistic as possible as full-video presentations and therefore I have practiced over many years to gain a fluid, elegant and yet powerful way of diving.

    I have dared to step into the underwater world because I search for exactly this kind of challenge and new experience! So do come and meet me at special events at the Munich mermaid school or watch me perform at different national and international places! In open oceans, rivers, lakes, as well as aquariums I have freedived with marine animals including sand tiger sharks, lemon sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, whale sharks, seals, and others, so all that experience makes me confident about presenting a spectacular but also an animal friendly show. I love what I´m doing therefore magazines and newspapers have often written about my adventures. Moreover, I have recently become an author myself. My book "Mermaids - Kleines Handbuch für Meerjungfrauen und Nixen", illustrated with beautiful handpainted images by publisher SNaglschmid, represents the first teaching handbook for young aspiring mermaids in the German-speaking world. Available at www.amazon.com.

    I was lucky enough to travel widely and have already done public mermaid presentations in many national and international waters (Germany, Lanzarote, England, Scotland, USA, Australia). I love working on foreign adventures that bring together different people with a similar passion, so I would be more than happy to participate in any overseas projects.

    I possess several professional mermaid tails with matching tops. I design and make most of my own mermaid accessories myself. Additionally, I have often been told that my natural long flowing blond hair and ivory pale skin makes me look like a real sea nymph, straight from mythology. In case you want to shoot me without a mermaid tail, I can gladly offer my services as a highly experienced professional underwater model and - actress with a TV and ballet background.

    Protecting the animals, oceans and nature as well as special human charity projects have a priority in my mind so I have decided to work for free for handpicked organizations, events or shows. I would be happy to give you more information on this aspect of my work.

    So, if you want to work with a real mermaid please feel free to contact me! I'm happy to answer any questions. You can do this by:

Also the WellenBerg pool Oberammergau, Germany, follows the lead and I was happy to perform there as pro mermaid and contest judge at the town´s first mermaid day.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but is at the same time measurable. It is surrounding a fleeting ideal and us. The movie shows how beauty is scaled and evaluated, and displays its transformation in fashion and art over the years. My role is to explain the fictional character "mermaid" to the audience. The mythologic creature "mermaid" has always generated images, demands and dreams in people and therefore contributes a lot to this fascinating theme!

Simply the best thing that could happen to any mermaid!

Have fun to watch this colorful mixture of my underwater adventures! It always takes hard work and lots of preparation, but I simply love this job!



"Atlantic Dream" - by Daniela Rodler - October 2012




It´s an old habit to dream of the ocean. But I don´t dream of it, the sea is my home. I dream of somebody.

"t=E/x²" – Timetravel movie (Teaser) with Jasmin Wagner and Mario Ganss




This German independent fantasy movie with the exeptional title "t=E/x²", directed and written by Andreas Simon, deals with the matter of time and the problems with it. Two people, trapped in a time warp have to learn to extend time and therefore become savers of the time base themselves. Estimated release will be in 2015.
Sounds complicated? It is. But if it was easy to explain no movie would be neccessary. Director, actors and team have only one goal: to make a fantasy movie that differs.

My cast in the movie: as guess what? (www.neurotainment.tv)
