COURSE DETAILS:

Whether you’re a curious beginner, who has yet to experience the thrill of snorkeling or freediving, or an experienced diver seeking an exhilarating new challenge, this program is designed for everyone. 


Throughout the Discover Mermaid Experience, you will immerse yourself in the wonders of mermaid diving. Our skilled instructors will lead you through delightful activities, allowing you to swim with a mermaid tail in a safe and controlled environment. 



The PADI Discover Mermaid experience consists of two introductory phases:


  • First, after signing up for the PADI Discover Mermaid program, you will receive a briefing from your PADI Mermaid Instructor, where you will learn the basics of being a mermaid. 


  • Next, you'll participate in a shallow water session where you'll wear a mermaid tail, and possibly other mermaid costumes depending on the situation. This will be followed by mermaid swimming, diving underwater, and participating in games.


Equipment

In the PADI Discover Mermaid experience, you will use a monofin (i.e., mermaid tail), mask, snorkel and fins. You may also use a wet suit and weight belt. Using gear designed specifically for mermaiding is best; however, in this introductory experience, you may be able to use snorkeling equipment you already own. If you are a freediver, some of your gear (e.g., mask, fins, snorkel) is also mermaiding gear.


What to Bring

  • A change of clothes  

  • A secure swimsuit  

  • Towels  

  • Water and snacks


A rental mermaid tail with fin will be provided during the class.

If you prefer, you can bring your own mermaid tail, but it must be from one of the following brands: 

Mermaid Linden, Suntails, Mertailor Whimsy, Fin Fun, or Cape Cali. 

Mermaid Linden is highly recommended for beginners.
