What is an under-the-sea theme?
An under-the-sea theme turns a room into an ocean: mermaids at the entrance, jellyfish and octopus characters roaming the crowd, aerial acts overhead and a sea god with a fire trident for the finale.
It is one of the most photographed themes we offer and works for summer parties, product launches, charity galas and pool parties.

Tips from our team
- 1
Light it blue
Ask your AV team for blue and teal uplighting and the performers do the rest.
- 2
Use the pool
At venues with a pool or water feature, mermaids make the perfect focal point.
- 3
Plan a reveal
Hold a fire trident moment back for the finale when the lights drop.
