What to expect

Mermaid diving is a popular and exciting new trend in the world of diving. Instead of traditional scuba gear, divers wear a mermaid tail, allowing them to swim like a mermaid or merman.

Mermaid diving is suitable for both beginners and experienced divers, as long as they are comfortable in the water and have basic swimming skills. The experience of mermaid diving is not just about swimming with a tail. It’s also about exploring the underwater world in a new and magical way. In mermaid, participants use their whole bodies, similar to the dolphin movement. The movement starts in the chest and from there continues like a wave throughout the entire body.

The mermaid tail also adds an element of fantasy and fun to the dive, and many divers enjoy performing tricks and swimming in formation with other mermaids. Mermaid tails should only be used in water that is free of sharp objects and currents, and divers should always dive with a buddy.

Mermaid diving is also a great way to improve swimming and underwater skills, as well as to build confidence and physical fitness.
