Meet Your Instructor
Sura is based in sunny San Diego, California where she teaches freediving year round amongst the kelp and sea lions in the Pacific Ocean. She has an extensive freediving background including Emergency First Aid and scuba rescue training, instructing people from all walks of life about the science behind apnea and how our bodies adapt to depth. At the same time, she began mermaiding and performed for various events including the Escondido Renaissance Faire and Swim Brayv where she advocates for water conservation and swim safety.
She currently teaches both mermaiding and freediving, taking the best of both worlds and merging the two to educate all of her students about safety, proper technique, mindfulness, but most importantly to believe in one’s own amazing capabilities!
Testimonials
On Mermaiding...
"Christine, aka "Mermaid Sura", was an absolute pleasure to learn from. I was enrolled in her PADI Mermaid & Advanced Mermaid combo course, and for starters, she is incredibly communicative. What I loved in particular is the fact that she's a master freediver and applies a lot of that knowledge/experience to her mermaid courses, so it isn't "fluffy" by any means. She's very educated about the science behind apnea, uses the terminology, and is clearly passionate about it. All in all I highly recommend this course - or any course taught by Mermaid Sura - and I felt like I walked-away a better waterman/mermaid performer, as well as with a new friend. "

On Freediving...
"I booked a private coaching session with Christine and it was awesome! She’s very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, which allowed me to feel comfortable in the water with her while simultaneously learning and having fun. She took videos throughout the session and sent them to me with detailed notes, including techniques I need to work on, which I really appreciate. If you’re thinking about booking with her, don’t hesitate!! Thanks Christine!"
