Freediving is about inward power, discipline, and control. If you’ve always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. Taking the PADI Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves. To enroll in a PADI Freediver course you must be at least 15 years old.

You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.

Become a mermaid with these mermaid certification classes like the PADI Mermaid and the PADI Advanced mermaid. Get your mermaid certification card and become a PADI Mermaid with us in Maui! This is a fun introduction to mermaiding for beginner to intermediate mermaids. No experience is necessary, but you must know how to swim.

Able to swim 50m/160 feet without the use of swim aids. And able to float comfortably at the surface for 5 minutes. Tail: We will provide a tail, mask and snorkel for your use during the class.

There are two classroom style knowledge development sessions covering mermaid culture, safety considerations of swimming in a tail, breathing techniques for diving, varying ascents and descents, swim strokes, how to choose mermaid gear, etc. There are two confined water sessions working with technique, swim drills and skills. Course Layout: The PADI Mermaid Course is set up over one weekend, with both a classroom session and in-water session each day. The two mermaid training days begin at 9am and end by 4:30pm. Certification: Successfully completing this course means you will receive a customized PADI Mermaid certification card mailed to you. This card shows that you are a trained mermaid – comfortable and confident swimming in and exiting a tail, that you have extensive knowledge in the field of mermaiding and have mastered the beginner to intermediate techniques. This certification card may be valuable when applying to swim at pools that have restrictions regarding tails. It does not qualify you to teach mermaid classes. Learn More
