It's International Mermaid Day! Become A Mermaid With Blue Planet

Events HTallent 29 Mar, 2022

March 29th is International Mermaid Day!  And today we're thrilled to announce that you can become a PADI Mermaid with Blue Planet Scuba.

Mermaid Jen blowing a kissJen Downey, a PADI IDC Staff Instructor, freediver and PADI Mermaid Instructor, is offering classes on her new island home of St Maarten and back in the DC area this summer.

I took my first breath underwater in 2011. It was an immediate obsession. I worked through my certifications and eventually went pro. Sharing my passion for the underwater world opens up the other 71% of the planet for everyone I teach. I want to create a safe and exciting learning environment for my students.

But what about mermaids? On a dive trip in the Bahamas, a mermaid tail was left on the boat from the prior weeks’ adventure. Every time I geared up to get in the water, I would glance at it, longingly. We were given the opportunity to try it out. I did not take that opportunity and I have regretted it ever since.

When PADI announced the new Mermaid program, I was immediately on board. I booked my trip to Cozumel to get certified and have never looked back.

You can also join Jen July 5-10, 2022 for MerWeek in Cozumel! Contact us for details!
