Are you even a mermaid if your Instagram presence isn't strong?

While the world debates the merits of the live-action Little Mermaid (we love you, Halle Bailey!), some people are slipping into the pool with their feet magically welded into a big flipper and getting their own mermaid game on. At the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa in Lahaina on the island of Maui, adults (and teens) can take classes in learning how to do the ultimate underwater mermaid selfie.

It's not that easy to capture an image underwater, let alone one that incorporates green scales and flowing locks in the same frame. This class led by the Mindful Mermaid Academy happens at the resort pool (you can't do it in the ocean lest Ariel's dad gets upset). You'll learn techniques to get that flipper up and how to twist your torso for that perfect bikini shot, all while holding your breath just like Tyra told everyone to in those miraculous underwater ANTM challenges.

Mermaiding isn't easy and you'll want to take this class to get your nine-square-looking swank while you're devoting full time to floating, under the sea. The class starts at $149.

Learn more about it here. (Hint: make sure to first pick a date in the future or the experience will likely show as unavailable.)
