When a blanket octopus swims, it creates a kaleidoscope of colors twirling underwater. It’s a rainbow of beauty as it glides ...

You even get to wear a tail. Growing up in Michigan, Amanda Walker always felt like she was a mermaid at heart, but didn’t realize it was a legit lifestyle until she moved to Tampa Bay in 2021.

Mermaid tails and monofins are provided, and participation is limited to 10 swimmers to ensure personalized attention and safety. The fee for this unique underwater adventure is $28.94 per student.
