Our Mission

Founded in 2021 by passion and a -slight- obsession for freediving and all things Ocean by our founders - Ellie Hayden & Jordan Black. Salty Pilgrims has now grown to be one of the most respected and largest Freediving Schools in Australia, and is one of few in Australia that offer higher level Freediving Courses all the way to instructor Level Courses. 

Our mission is to help people connect with the Ocean—and to themselves—ultimately showing them they’re capable of more in the water than they ever thought possible. We truely believe that freediving is for everyone. Freediving has completely enhanced our lives in every way, and we’re all about sharing the tools to help others experience that same transformation. 

The biggest and best part of freediving is the people you get to meet along the way. It's a community of incredible people who are so welcoming, and who quickly become your lifelong friends. 

We offer Freediving and Spearfishing Trips all around Australia, the Pacific Islands and Indonesia, each trip offering something a little different - but with the same collective mission to make them the most memorable, fun and life changing experiences of people's lives. 

We can't wait for you to join us.
