A complete and tailored Mermaiding insurance
Mermaiding injury healthcare expenses
Up to €150,000. Hypoxic blackouts in prolonged performance apnea, rigid-monofin trauma in collision with the public or pool equipment, tail blockages impossible to remove rapidly, hypothermia in long performances, prolonged-effort tendinitis: we cover specific injuries.
Transport and repatriation
At actual cost. PADI Mermaid certifications (worldwide), USA Mer-Folk Convention, Mermaid Olympics, World Mermaid Awards Las Vegas, international aquatic park performances, mermaid festivals: we organise medical repatriation.
Mermaiding option
The Mermaiding add-on covers PADI Mermaid certifications (Basic, Advanced, Instructor), commercial performances (aquatic parks, events, weddings, underwater photography), the Mermaid Olympics, the World Mermaid Awards and world mermaid festivals.
Disability benefit
Up to €200,000 per person. Mermaiding combines prolonged performance apnea (legs bound in a rigid tail make it impossible to exit the pool quickly), hypoxic blackout risks and pool-equipment blockages (drains, ladders) with the tail preventing a rapid escape. Commercial event performances multiply the risks.
Why is Mermaiding insurance essential?
Mermaiding, the practice of swimming in a mermaid tail, exploded from the 2010s with the democratisation of rigid monofin tails. PADI launched official certifications (Basic Mermaid, Advanced Mermaid, Mermaid Instructor) with schools in Mexico, Florida and the Maldives. The USA Mer-Folk Convention and the Mermaid Olympics became world rendezvous. Risks are unique: legs bound in a rigid tail make a rapid water exit impossible, with a risk of hypoxic blackout and pool blockage.
Our Mermaiding insurance is the choice of professional mermaids, PADI Mermaid Instructors and aquatic park performers. For competitive finswimming, see Finswimming. For pure apnea, see Freediving.

The rate depends on your practice and the desired cover duration. For PADI Mermaid training abroad (Mexico, Maldives), the weekly plan suits; for a professional mermaid (regular performances plus training), the annual plan with the Mermaiding add-on is best. Request your personalised quote.
