What to Expect
Academics
Equipment
Confined Water (Pool)
Open Water (Lake)
Knowledge development through independent study with the PADI Mermaid & Advanced Mermaid eLearnings.
In the Combo course, you will use a monofin (i.e., mermaid tail), mask, snorkel, and fins. You may also use a wetsuit and weight belt.
At least four confined water sessions, in which you'll learn to prepare for mermaiding, rescue/problem management skills and the conduct of mermaid dives. You also learn mermaid skills, such as dolphin (butterfly) kicks, C-shape and U-shape side turns, and some skills distinct to mermaid diving, including backward somersault turn, underwater handshaking mermaid bubbles, and back glides.
A minimum of two open water sessions are conducted in a natural local body of water, or purpose-built site significantly larger than a pool, suited to mermaid diving, in which you learn and practice the set-up, conduct, and execution of open water mermaid dives, including environmentally friendly mermaid diving techniques.
