About the Course

  • The Total Mermaid Transformation is a 7-day, all-in-one mermaid experience designed for dreamers who are ready to make the ocean their stage and their career. You'll start by mastering the foundational skills of breath control, underwater movement, and safety — then level up your technique, performance style, and aquatic endurance in the Advanced Mermaid module.

  • From there, you'll dive into professional-level training, learning how to guide, instruct, and inspire future mermaids. By the end of the week, you won’t just look the part — you'll be the part, equipped with real credentials and the skills to work anywhere in the growing mermaid industry.

  • This course is intensive, empowering, and transformative. It’s also incredibly fun — blending serious safety and skill development with the joy of performance, play, and connection to the sea.
