No Ripples is unique. We are the only organisation in Australia to teach the art and skill of mermaiding as well as providing synchronised mermaid birthday party offerings.
We are a team of athletes, educators, water lovers, body movers, free thinkers and instigators of positive change through education. We make water fun! We lead a healthy lifestyle and we feel strongly about conserving our ocean environments. We love what we do!
Our team offers more than two decades of aquatic experience and a proven track record for water safety. Our mission is to raise awareness of mermaiding in Australia and beyond and to create high-quality educational courses that promote water safety, healthy lifestyle and fitness.
For many, mermaiding is the stuff that dreams are made of. For some, it’s a great way to get fit and stay fit. For us, it’s all of the above and a lot more!

Jochen lives and breathes efficiency and he doesn’t hold his breath when diving into legal, financial, and managerial tasks at No Ripples. Originally from Germany, Jochen has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the prestigious Technical University of Munich.
An adventurer in heart, apart from being a dad of three - a huge adventure on it’s own, Jochen is an experienced mountaineer, rock climber, mountain biker and freediver. He organised the first international freediving pool competition in Australia to that Michaela could break Australian freediving records.
No Ripples represents a new frontier for Jochen, an opportunity to apply his passion for entrepreneurship and business development.
When you see Vicki gracefully moving through the water, you'd be forgiven for thinking that she's a real mermaid. After all, most of her life has revolved around water. Vicki has been competing as a synchronised swimming athlete on a national level for many years. She is currently a head coach at Sydney Emeralds Synchro Club.
With her Masters Degree in sports science, Vicki brings to our business a wealth of knowledge, experience and bountiful creative ideas to make sure that our mermaid classes and performances are unique and memorable. She’s a Level 1 certified Australian swim teacher in synchronised swimming. Vicki’s next goal is to compete at the synchronised swimming World Championships in Hungary in 2017.
