Do you really need a PADI Mermaid certification?
The short answer is "maybe," but the long answer is "absolutely."
Before determining whether a PADI Mermaid course is suitable for you, consider the following questions:
Do you know how to rescue and resuscitate someone who is drowning or experiencing water-related difficulties?
Are you aware of the correct way to carry an unconscious person through the water while providing rescue breaths?
Will you be engaging in professional underwater performances, even if it's just on a single occasion?
Will you be working in tank environments, such as aquariums?
Do you swim with friends?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it is in your best interest to obtain PADI Mermaid certification. However, if none of these situations currently apply to you, don't click away just yet...
As mermaiding gains popularity, prominent companies and aquariums are hiring more mermaids. However, these entities seek mermaids who prioritize safety and possess the knowledge to handle emergencies. Mermaiding without proper certifications can quickly become a liability, which is the last thing anyone desires. Having a certification that demonstrates your adequate safety training enhances your prospects of being hired by aquariums and other companies.
Apart from the business advantages of obtaining a PADI Mermaid certification, your friends and family will feel more at ease swimming with you, knowing that you are capable of assisting them in case of any mishaps. The safety techniques taught in the PADI Mermaid program are invaluable and have the potential to save lives.
