Pullman Maldives Maamutaa offers a professional PADI Mermaid Certification—a magical underwater experience that blends reality and fantasy—through its PADI 5-star Suvadiva Dive Centre. Mermaid diving is a unique discipline, similar in skill and gear to scuba and freediving, but with its own art and culture. Designed for watersports lovers—a fun, meaningful experience open to all genders and all levels, as long as you can swim.

The mermaid diving tradition draws inspiration from ancient legends dating back to Assyrian civilization in 1000 BC. While mermaid diving looks simple, it involves a wealth of knowledge—safety, body control underwater, and proper use of equipment. The PADI Mermaid course prioritizes safety first, while also unlocking fun and creativity underwater for every student—turning imagination into an achievable and enjoyable underwater adventure.
