PADI Mermaid Course in Bali

About the course

The PADI Mermaid course in Bali includes knowledge development and at least two water skill sessions that develop more dynamic mermaid skills beyond Basic Mermaid, including many skills that make mermaiding an underwater self-expressive art, separate from other types of diving.
(Note: the PADI Mermaid course includes the Basic Mermaid, so you can start with PADI Mermaid - there is no need to take Basic Mermaid separately.)
To enroll in a PADI Mermaid course, you must be at least ten years old. You need to be 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. As an entry-level mermaid diving course, no prior experience with diving of any kind is required.

Academics

The PADI Mermaid course in Bali has two phases:

• Knowledge development through independent study with the PADI Mermaid eLearning (or our instructor may conduct classroom sessions if not available in your language).
• Two confined water sessions to learn and 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.

The PADI Basic Mermaid course gets you started with the next level of the mermaid course in a pool training session during which you will learn the basics of mermaiding such as swimming and breathholding.
