About this course

Advanced Mermaid


PADI Advanced Mermaid builds on PADI Mermaid and prepares you for more demanding water and for professional training. The focus is control, confidence and consistency, with training in deeper confined water or open water depending on conditions and your progress.

How it works

  • eLearning: about 3–4 hours of theory at home before you arrive.
  • In the water: skill refinement, longer and more complex underwater sequences, and open-water awareness in the sheltered bays around Golfo Aranci.

Who it suits

PADI Mermaids who want to swim with more control and grace, mermaid performers and anyone planning to become a PADI Mermaid Instructor - Advanced Mermaid is the required step before the instructor course.

Why train here

Sardinia's clear, calm water makes the move from pool to open sea a natural one, and you train with the team that runs IDC Sardegna's Mermaid Instructor courses.

“I did the IDC with them and everything was truly fantastic. They're professional, helpful, and ready to help you both with the course and if you have any issues with the equipment. They truly take care of every detail. Luckily, I don't have to do it again 😄 ✌🏼, but if I did, I'd definitely choose them again.”
