How to Become a Mermaid?

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to become a mermaid? I used to dream about it as a little girl — gliding through the water, weightless and free, like a siren of the sea. That dream stayed with me, and one day, I decided to make it come true. Today, I’m living that dream as a professional mermaid and underwater model, traveling the world and creating magic beneath the surface.

And now… I want to help you do the same.

Through my mermaiding school and equipment shop, I’ve created a space where your underwater dreams can come to life. Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in fully, I’ll be here to guide you on your journey — with training, tools, and a whole lot of mermaid magic. So… what are you waiting for?
Your underwater adventure is calling. Let’s make your mermaid dream a reality. ✨

Mermaid Courses

Back in August 2012, I founded the Mermaid Kat Academy — the world’s very first public mermaiding school. At the time, I had no idea how many lives it would touch. What started as a dream turned into a global movement, and since then, I’ve had the joy of teaching mermaiding workshops in over 10 countries around the world. I created a special training program for children and adults, for total beginners and advanced mermaids and mermen alike. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your skills, there’s a place for you in my courses. Swimming in a mermaid tail — or mermaiding, as we call it — isn’t just magical and fun. It’s also an amazing full-body workout that connects you with the water in the most beautiful way.

Mermaid Retreats

My Mermaid Retreats are so much more than just trips — they’re soul-deep journeys into connection, transformation, and the magic of the underwater world. During these Mermaid Weeks, I invite you to join me in some of the most breathtaking places on Earth. Together, we dive into the beauty of the ocean, explore breathwork, underwater modeling, and creative self-expression — all while surrounded by like-minded merfolk from around the globe. Whether you’re joining for the first time or returning for another wave of magic, these retreats are designed to meet you where you are. You’ll swim with incredible marine life, take part in unforgettable underwater photoshoots, and reconnect with your body, your breath, and your inner light. We laugh, we grow, we create, and we share moments that stay with us long after we’ve returned home. If you’ve ever dreamed of living like a real mermaid, come swim with us — and let the ocean remind you of who you truly are.

Underwater Model Coaching - The Online Course with Mermaid Kat

Underwater Model Coaching

My Online Underwater Modeling Masterclass is a course created straight from the heart, designed to guide you into the magical world beneath the surface. Over the past decade, I’ve worked professionally as an underwater model, mermaid, scuba diving instructor, and underwater stuntwoman. Through all these roles, I’ve gained unique insights, techniques, and experiences that I’ve now lovingly brought together in this in-depth training. This online course is for anyone who feels drawn to the water — whether you’re completely new to underwater modeling or already have experience and want to refine your skills. You’ll learn how to move with grace, hold your breath with ease, pose naturally, and express yourself fully beneath the surface. But this course is more than just learning how to look good in underwater photos. It’s about confidence, self-expression, and creating art in one of the most beautiful and challenging environments on Earth.

Tails, Fins & Costumes

After spending countless hours in the water, I realized how essential it is to have equipment that’s not only safe and reliable, but also powerful and beautifully designed. That’s what inspired me to create my own line of high-quality mermaiding fins. These fins were specially developed to support efficient movement and flow — whether you’re gliding through the ocean or performing as a mermaid. They’re ideal for both mermaid swimming and freediving-style movement, offering comfort, strength, and elegance in every kick. At my Mermaid Kat Shop, you’ll find a range of mermaid tails for both children and adults — including soft, flexible spandex tails and stunning handmade silicone tails. Each silicone tail is crafted with care and love, made to order, and designed to move gracefully in the water thanks to the neutral buoyancy of the silicone.
