First Experience

Try Mermaid

Curious about mermaiding but not sure where to start? Try Mermaid is a relaxed, low-pressure introduction in the shallow, clear water of the sheltered shallow water in Khao Lak. You will learn how it feels to wear a monofin and tail, move gracefully through the water and create simple poses — all with a strong focus on safety and comfort. No diving experience needed.

The Session

Simple, Playful and Safe

We keep the Try Mermaid experience low-key. After a short briefing on land, you get used to the monofin and tail in very shallow water before moving into sheltered shallow water. The instructor stays close throughout, helping with movement and suggesting poses when you feel comfortable. There is no pressure to go deeper or hold your breath longer than feels right.

  • Equipment fitting — tail and monofin sized and adjusted for you before entering the water
  • Entry and adjustment — getting comfortable in shallow water at your own pace
  • Mermaid kicks — basic dolphin kick technique for smooth, efficient movement
  • Gliding and streamlining — floating, sinking and gliding in a relaxed mermaid position
  • Posing — surface and gentle underwater poses, with breaks whenever you need them
  • Photos and video — optional, arranged in advance or on the day
