CAN I BOOK TO ATTEND ONE DAY ONLY?
Absolutely! You can book to attend just one day of the workshop. However, if you’re planning to join our boat adventure, it’s essential that you’re already proficient and comfortable swimming in a mermaid tail in open water. We won’t be able to cover the basics of mermaiding during the boat photography excursion. For the best experience, we highly recommend participating in the first day of coaching and training to get fully prepared.
