Mermaid Diving Makes a Splash in Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea

A diving centre in Jeddah has broken the record by becoming the first to introduce a Saudi Arabian mermaid diving course. This creative program by Scuba Schools International at Al-Haddad Scuba gives clientele a fairy-tale-like experience but is also refreshing for those seeking a different type of aquatic experience along the shores of this waterfront city.

Mermaid Diving Magic:

Mermaid diving is the concept that joins graceful dolphin kick techniques with exaggerated, beautifully looking movements. This art provides not only stunning underwater performance but guarantees effective and safe practices for the divers as well. The mystique of the mermaid, representative in so many cultures of beauty, transformation, and feminine power, finds modern-day expressions in the pages of literature, frames of cinema, strips of catwalks, and now—ocean conservation.

Meet the Mermaid Maestro:

At the core of this effort is Corinna Davids, an accomplished Austrian scuba diving and swimming instructor who took the concept of mermaid diving to a new level. With years of expertise in free diving and swimming, Davids comes to Saudi Arabia after coming up with the SSI Mermaid Program. She held the country’s first mermaid diving course for instructors in April, concentrating on safety, techniques, and teaching methods.

Get Ready to Dive into the Details: Any person who has basic confidence in water can now experience the mermaid dive. People wear top-quality monofins and tail skins, made of Lycra or scuba fabric, which turn one into a mythical sea creature. The course is provided with extensive theory sessions, training in water, and assessment of teaching skills that enable an instructor to teach any level of student safely and effectively.

A New Wave in Saudi Tourism:

This unique activity brings this offering into complete alignment with the plans for Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, looking towards the diversification of the economy and growing tourism. Ali Ayoub, a mermaid diver and certified scuba instructor from Al-Haddad Scuba, explains how it fits within the greater scheme: developing new recreational activities and promoting coastal attractions in the country.

Captivate to Conserve:

The other underlying role that mermaid diving can play is that of a strong tool in marine conservation education. Any mermaid diver can participate in school programs, community groups, and public events for education. Their basic role will be one of imparting to people the issues that are identified with marine ecosystems and natural environment threats. Their captivating presence makes learning these critical issues all the more engagingly memorable.

Personal Experience

The 22-year-old Saudi model, Wafaa Al-Masry, shared a positive experience from a mermaid diving course. Reserved merits are found in the sport after pessimistic expectations: she has fun and it is easy to learn with the coach, Ayoub. Her story is a good example of how this unique activity works great for a wide variety of participants in Saudi Arabia.

Looking Forward:

As Al-Haddad Scuba expands its offerings to mermaid diving, on top of snorkelling and night diving, the opening up of the underwater world of Saudi Arabia to the public is plain to see. This pioneering program not only gives such a unique and fun experience but also binds the people more closely to the marine environment, which may bring inspiration for the next generation of ocean conservationists within the Kingdom.

To dive as an underwater mermaid in Saudi Arabia is nothing short of a new recreational activity altogether but also demonstrates that flag of the ever-increasing diversification of tourism opportunities, laying witness to environmental awareness and openness in an orienting manner. The activity gains exposure swiftly and, therefore, could become a signature Saudi Red Sea Coast attraction—captivating locals and visitors alike—while promoting marine conservation.
