Hello World!

Published by mermaidsofsxm

Water has always been my element. My family called me "fish" growing up. I started my underwater journey as a scuba diver. One summer, on a liveaboard in the Bahamas, I saw my first mermaid tail. There had been a mermaid retreat the week before. I was too self-conscious to try it on like the other ladies on the trip and have regretted it ever since. While the pandemic raged on, PADI released its mermaid program. I sat on a zoom call and texted excitedly with another diver. We were making plans to become mermaids. At the time, there were very few instructors, just the original pilot mers. I booked the trip to Cozumel and earned my PADI Mermaid Instructor rating. Cozumel was my last hurrah before moving to the Caribbean. Now, I'm bringing mermaids to St. Maarten. View more posts
