Welcome home!
The Salty Tribe is a place to find your people, try new things and feel more at home in the ocean.
From ocean retreats and overseas adventures to local guided snorkels, dives, courses and salty dips, we create experiences that bring you closer to incredible marine wildlife, build your ocean confidence and leave you with stories to tell.
Based in Torquay on Victoria's Surf Coast, we run local ocean adventures along the coast, as well as retreats and trips across Australia and overseas.
Specialising in small-group ocean adventures for women, we create a welcoming space to meet lovely people, push your comfort zone and do things you might never have thought possible. Women's experiences are at the heart of what we do, but we also offer private trips and events for all genders.
We can't wait to welcome you in, help you find your wild and connect to your salty side!

YOUR GUIDE
Led personally, every time
"One significant moment occurred when I faced anxiety and a panic attack 30 metres below the ocean's surface. Confronting that fear is what taught me how to guide other women through theirs."
Shannon Hurley, Founder
Snorkel and dive instructor, educator and conservationist for over a decade.
