Course Overview

Have you ever dreamed of swimming like a mermaid? The PADI Mermaid course turns fantasy into reality! But it’s not just about looking good in a tail; mermaiding is a standalone sport that combines the grace of underwater modeling with the physical discipline of mono-fin swimming. It is a fantastic way to improve your core fitness, water confidence, and breath-holding abilities. At TDB Semporna, our crystal-clear shallow waters provide the perfect stage for you to master your tail and capture stunning underwater photos.
