To become an Apneists mermaid does require some knowledge (for your safety, and that of your fellow mermaids). As there is no such thing as a ‘mermaiding’ qualification, we offer an AIDA 2 Star Pool-Freediver course (£125) followed by the club recognised Beginner mermaid course (£125) which will train you to use the mono-fin and tail proficiently. If you have no experience in Freediving, first follow the link to do the AIDA 2 Freediver pool course here:
AIDA 2 Pool Freediver If you are a qualified Freediver to at least AIDA 2 Pool level, you can pay below. Thank you-
This is the payment is somebody requires additional training beyond the scope of the course.
