About Me!
I began this amazing journey to becoming a Mermaid back in 2019 when I took my first PADI Freedive course. In 2020 I got both SSI Ocean Mermaid & PADI Advanced Mermaid certified. I enjoyed Mermaid Diving as a hobby until 2023 when I decided to become a PADI Mermaid Instructor so I could share my love of this dive sport with others.
