MERMAID AND FREEDIVE COURSES

The Discover Mermaid experience introduces simple mermaid activities in confined water shallow enough in which to stand. It is designed as a flexible, informative, enjoyable, and controlled experience centered on letting you discover what it's like to mermaid dive.

To enroll in a Discover Mermaid experience, you must be at least six years old. You need to be in good physical health and comfortable in the water. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.

  The PADI Basic Mermaid course combines learning supporting knowledge and principles with a confined water skill development session to introduce the fun of fundamental mermaid diving. The course covers mermaid diving's background and culture, primary safety considerations, equipment and basic water skills. Ability to swim at least 25m (82 feet) and float comfortably at the surface for at least 3 minutes. 1  day course- 2 hour confined sessions, all online independent e-learning to be completed prior to course.

 The PADI Mermaid course includes knowledge development and at least two water skill sessions that develop more dynamic mermaid skills beyond Basic Mermaid™, including many skills that make mermaiding an underwater self-expressive art, separate from other types of diving. (Note that the PADI Mermaid course includes Basic Mermaid, so you can start with PADI Mermaid – there is no need to take Basic Mermaid separately.)  Ability to swim at least 50m (164 feet) and float comfortably on the surface for 5 minutes. 4 hour course, with online independent e-learning.
