You do realize that she was in mermaid form when she did it?
We don't know that.

I wonder if you could hold a lighter over the rising bubble and set it off when it breaches... :?:

Humm, good question. Makes me wonder if you could get a spark into the bubble before it breaches would i explode since it is in a confined area.

I would guess that it would not explode due to insufficient oxygen.

This (insufficient oxygen) would be more likely to be true if mermaids have gills (which it appears they do) and the girls had been underwater for a couple days beforehand.

This would provide a fascinating new angle of exploration for the methane gas bubble trap theory to explain boat sinkings.

Throw in a couple of electric eels or rays, so that electrolysis can break down the water into oxygen and hydrogen.

Or you could try sonoluminescence.

Is there enough oxygens to let it burn?

(NOW I see that angle had already been explored...)
