PADI Mermaid

Ready for more challenging fun? The PADI Mermaid course is for you! This course includes the Basic Mermaid instruction, so there’s no need to take that course separately, unless you want to due to time or scheduling issues.

Course includes the price of PADI E-Learning and fees, booking and reservation fees, and class tuition.

You must be age 10 or older, able to swim at least 50m/160ft without swim aids, able to float comfortably at the surface for at least 5 mins and in good physical health.

Your course will consist of two parts: an online E-Learning course, and an in-person pool session. E-Learning is done independently, and needs to be completed at least 1 week before your in-person session, unless otherwise specified. The location of your pool session will be sent to you privately.

In the PADI Mermaid course, you will learn more advanced Mermaid skills such as dolphin kicks, underwater turns, underwater backflips, and more!
