Ages 6 and Up | Max. Depth: Shallow water in which to stand
The Discover Mermaid™ experience introduces simple mermaid activities in confined water (i.e., a pool or place with pool-like conditions), 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.

Cost: $125 (Includes Monofin & Tail Rental)
PADI Basic Mermaid
Ages 6 and Up | Max. Depth 3m/10ft
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.
​
Cost: $225 (+$25 for Monofin & Tail Rental)
PADI Mermaid
Ages 10 and Up | Max. Depth 5m/15ft
The PADI Mermaid™ course includes knowledge development and at least two water skill sessions that develop more dynamic mermaid skills 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.)
​
Cost: $275 (+$50 for Monofin & Tail Rental)
Get PADI Certified
The PADI Mermaid Program is designed to be a rewarding and fun experience, suited to anyone with an interest in mermaid diving and basic swimming abilities. Although this experience shares techniques and equipment used in scuba and freediving, mermaid diving (or ‘mermaiding’) is its own form of diving. The PADI Mermaid Program is designed for non-divers and divers alike, as you don’t need any prior knowledge to enroll.
