Florida Panhandle Retreat 2026

June 4th - 8th

About the retreat

Join us on an immersive luxury experience designed for transformation, mastery, and of course lots of underwater fun! Set along Florida’s breathtaking Emerald Coast, this exclusive 5-day, 4-night retreat invites both PADI certified mermaids and aspiring professional mermaids into a world where elegance meets expertise. Created for those pursuing their PADI Mermaid and PADI Advanced Mermaid certifications, as well as those already certified seeking refinement and expansion, this experience blends professional training with curated luxury.

Guests will explore two of Florida’s pristine freshwater springs and the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Gulf, offering a rare dual-environment immersion that elevates both skill and confidence. Every detail is intentionally designed — from intimate group sizes to personalized instruction — ensuring a deeply supportive, elevated learning environment.

Participants will refine their underwater artistry through a guided underwater modeling workshop with Felicia, FeliciaWithFins, focusing on fluidity, control, presence, and visual storytelling beneath the surface. In addition, guests will curate their personal underwater aesthetic and performance identity with Roya, The Caspian Mermaid, in an intimate setting designed to enhance confidence, presence, and personal brand expression.

For those pursuing certification, the retreat includes your PADI eLearning, two days of immersive, small-group PADI course training, combining technical excellence with grace, confidence, and artistry — creating mermaids who are not only certified, but truly embodied in their craft. This is where certification meets confidence. Where training becomes transformation. Where the mermaid soul becomes fully realized. A luxury experience for those ready to expand their craft beneath the surface.
