Haven't earned a Mermaid certification? PADI Mermaid includes Basic!
Expand your understanding of the physical properties of the underwater world and how they affect you as a mermaid, while learning additional routine, exhibition, and problem-handling skills.
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. As an entry-level mermaid diving course, no prior experience with diving of any kind is required!
To enroll in a PADI Mermaid course, you must:
Be at least ten years old
Be able to swim at least 50m/160ft without swim aids, able to float comfortably at the surface for at least 5 mins, and be in good physical health
Complete the necessary paperwork (sent in advance of the course)
The PADI Mermaid course has two phases:
Knowledge development through independent study with the PADI Mermaid eLearning
Two confined water sessions to learn and prepare for mermaiding, rescue/problem management skills and the conduct of mermaid dives. You also learn mermaid skills, such as dolphin (butterfly) kicks, C-shape and U-shape side turns, and some skills distinct to mermaid diving, including backward somersault turn, underwater handshaking mermaid bubbles, and back glides.
