Laura told Lanarkshire Live : “Nobody in Scotland seemed to be teaching scuba diving or mermaid classes. “For our mermaid classes, you can be as young as six and just need to be confident in the water during the two-hour lesson."We can have anywhere between 10 to 20 mermaids in the water per class.“We show you how to put on the masks, the duck diving and by the end of the lesson, we provide the tails and the fins and they get to put them on.“I’m currently sourcing more tails and fins, trying to get fancy tails.“At the moment we have 10 to 20 fins that we use every week.
