About this Course
PADI Discover Mermaid is an introductory experience designed for anyone curious about the magical world of mermaiding. In a fun, safe, and supportive environment, participants learn the basics of mermaid swimming, including proper body positioning, graceful underwater movement, breath control, and fin techniques—while wearing a mermaid tail or monofin.
Guided by a certified PADI Mermaid Instructor, this program focuses on confidence, comfort in the water, and playful self-expression. No prior mermaid experience is required, making it the perfect first splash into mermaiding for beginners who want to feel strong, elegant, and connected to the water.
What to Expect
Academics
Equipment
Confined Water (Pool)
After signing up for the PADI Discover Mermaid program you will listen to a briefing from your PADI Mermaid Instructor to learn the basics about being a mermaid.
In the PADI Discover Mermaid experience, you will use a monofin (i.e. mermaid tail), mask, snorkel and fins. You may also use a wetsuit and weight belt. Using gear designed specifically for mermaiding is best; however, in this introductory experience, you may be able to use snorkeling equipment you already own. If you are a freediver, some of your gear (e.g. mask, fins, snorkel) is also mermaiding gear.
A shallow water session in which you'll wear a mermaid tail, and try mermaid swimming, going underwater and playing games. It’s an experience class, not a certification, and it avoids advanced breath-holding or rescue skills.
