PADI Mermaid
Introduction
The PADI Mermaid course is the entry-level program for mermaid diving, consisting of two levels: Basic Mermaid and Mermaid. No previous mermaid course or experience is required.
Description
The PADI Basic Mermaid course serves as an introduction to mermaid diving and does not require any prior diving skills. There are only two requirements to fulfill: being at least 6 years old, and being capable of swimming 25m (using any stroke) and comfortably floating at the surface for 3 minutes. During the course, you will learn the techniques for entering and exiting the water as a mermaid, as well as the basic methods of mermaid propulsion: the front dolphin kick and back dolphin kick. Additionally, you will acquire knowledge on performing warm-up exercises and stretches on land, selecting suitable equipment, choosing the correct weights, and properly donning and removing mermaid tails in case of emergencies. By completing the basic mermaid course, you will become a proficient mermaid capable of swimming freely in the water. As a certified basic mermaid diver, you can mermaid at a maximum depth of 3m.
In the PADI Mermaid Course, you will develop proficiency in more advanced performance skills, including the side dolphin kick, exhale descent, back glide, backward somersault turn, underwater hand shaking, mermaid bubble, and more. These skills enable you to showcase yourself with increased freedom and grace in the water, resembling the mermaids seen in aquarium performances. As a certified mermaid diver, you will have the capability to dive to a maximum depth of 5m.
