About the Experience
You might first want to see what it feels like to be a mermaid before you sign up on a course. If so, you can enjoy this short discover memaid experience over 2 hours. You can be a diver or a non-diver, a man, a woman, a child, a teen, or anything in between (as long as you have turned six years old). You should be in good physical health and comfortable swimming and putting your face in the water.

The Discover Mermaid experience consists of two introductory phases:
- After arriving at the pool you will listen to a short briefing from your Mermaid Instructor to learn the basics of being a mermaid.
- In a shallow water session, you’ll wear a mermaid monofin and mermaid spandex leggings or lycra mermaid tail (depending on comfort in water), and depending on the situation, perhaps other additional mermaid costuming followed by mermaid swimming, going underwater and games.

In the Discover Mermaid experience, you’ll use a lightweight tail, monofin, spandex leggings or lycra mermaid tail (depending on comfort in water), mask, and snorkel. You may also wear a wet suit and weight belt if you prefer.
