What is PADI and why a Mermaid Course?

As you learn to hold your breath and move calmly beneath the surface, you'll discover a sense of inner stillness that connects body and mind. 


Each dive becomes a moment of presence, where the noise of everyday life fades away and you're fully attuned to your breath, your body, and the rhythm of the water. This mindful connection not only enhances your mermaiding skills but also brings a deep sense of peace, focus, and wellbeing both in and out of the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

While we do provide equipment for our courses, we highly recommend that you purchase and bring your own mask and snorkel for hygiene reasons. 


Having your own gear ensures a better fit, increased comfort, and a more enjoyable experience in the water. 


If you're unsure what to buy, our team is happy to offer advice on the best options for mermaiding.


We provide all the essential equipment you’ll need for your mermaid course, including bi-fins and a monofin. 


These fins help you learn proper technique and build confidence in the water. If you’re new to mermaiding, this gives you a great opportunity to try both styles before investing in your own gear. 


Yes, for Discover Mermaid, Basic Mermaid, and Advanced Mermaid, it’s important to complete the required PADI eLearning before your course begins. 


This online study covers essential theory and safety knowledge, helping you feel confident and prepared before getting in the water. Completing the eLearning in advance ensures you get the most out of your mermaiding experience. 


A mermaid tail is not required for the course, and we do not provide tails as part of the training. However, if you’re interested in purchasing one for personal use, we’re happy to recommend trusted brands and retailers. 


We’ll help you choose a tail that’s safe, comfortable, and appropriate for your level—perfect for continuing your mermaiding journey outside of class.
