NEWEST CLASS AT DIVE MAGIC
PADI MERMAID PROGRAMS
Delving into the realm of mermaid diving is like straddling the line between reality and fantasy. The enchanting tales of mermaids have captivated our imaginations for centuries, and the allure remains strong even today. From the young to the young at heart, the idea of living as a mermaid is a whimsical dream shared by many. But with the PADI Mermaid Course, we can turn that dream into a tangible (or nearly tangible) experience. Through specialized mermaid equipment and costumes, we can blend the boundaries between make-believe and reality, offering a glimpse into the captivating world of mermaid culture and diving.
The PADI Mermaid Program consists of three distinct courses: Basic Mermaid, Mermaid, and Advanced Mermaid. These courses are designed to be enjoyable and fulfilling for anyone with a curiosity for mermaid diving, requiring only a basic level of swimming proficiency. Despite the name, you don’t need to be a seasoned scuba diviner or free diver to embrace your inner mermaid.
Minimum Age/Prerequisite:
Basic Mermaid: 6 years old and swim 25m & float 3min w/o aids
Mermaid: 10 years old and swim 50m & float for 5min w/o aids
Advanced Mermaid: 12 years old, a Mermaid certification, and swim 100m & float for 10 min w/o aids
Prices: Varies based on Course

SNORKELING AND FREEDIVING
Looking to experience the wonders of the ocean but don’t have the time to learn scuba diving? Snorkeling is the perfect solution for those who want to witness the beauty of marine life, including whales and whale sharks. Also known as “free diving,” snorkeling is a simple and efficient way to explore the underwater world while swimming on or through a body of water. Your instructor will guide you through the basics of skin diving, such as adjusting your mask and snorkel, using defogger, and putting on fins. Starting in the shallow end of the pool, you’ll practice snorkeling until you’re ready to venture into deeper waters. If you’re interested in learning to free dive into slightly deeper water, we can teach you proper breathing techniques to help you hold your breath longer underwater. So come and enjoy the water with us and discover the magic of snorkeling!
Prices: $25 a lesson - No age limit (recommended at least 5 years old)

PADI DRY SUIT DIVER
Why Choose a Dry Suit for Diving? Lining in Idaho, we have the opportunity to dive in local waters during the summer months of June through August. However, diving in cold water can be uncomfortable and limit the length of your dives. By learning to dive in a dry suit, you can extend your dive season and enjoy longer, more comfortable dives. Our dry suit class begins with eLearning academics, where you’ll learn everything you need to know about dry suits. We’ll then practice in the swimming pool, honing your buoyancy skills and perfecting your dry suit body position. Finally, we’ll take your new skills to the open water, where you’ll complete two dives and continue to work on your buoyancy. Our flexible schedule and fun approach make this class an exciting adventure that opens up new opportunities for diving in colder waters around the world.
Prices: $200 (Includes PADI eLearning Code)

DIVER REFRESHER
We provide various options for a refresher course, allowing you to choose the one that suits your needs. You can opt for a one-hour refresher course with or without an instructor, and with or without scuba gear (if you have your own BC and regulator).
If it has been more than two years since your last dive or if you have limited experience, we highly recommend considering the one-hour refresher course with an instructor. During this session, the instructor will guide you through important skills such as assembling your scuba kit, recovering your regulator, and clearing your mask.
Alternatively, if you prefer to refresh your skills independently, you can choose the refresher course without an instructor. In this option, you will receive minimal guidance and focus on basic dive procedures, allowing you to refresh your skills at your own pace.
To participate, you must be a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver or equivalent, and at least 10 years old.
