Share your Salt Story
Do you have a tale to share, a guide to write on your favorite saltwater spot, or do you want to participate in an interview? The Salt Sirens is currently accepting contributions from athletes, writers, bloggers, and photographers obsessed with telling stories of the sea.
We currently accept contributions for the following categories:
Spot Guide
Spot guides are where The Salt Sirens share their favorite surf, scuba, SUP, kite, or freedive spots. We will send over a template with questions to fill out on the best places to do your sport, eat, and stay — as well as any other tips that The Salt Sirens should know about. Contributions in this section should be by experts of the destination, only.
Example: The Ultimate Surf, Dive, and Adventure Guide to Nusa Lembongan
Tips and Techniques
Do you have a tip or technique for a saltwater sport that you’d love to share? Here is the best place to teach fellow Salt Sirens how to be a better athlete or ocean conservationist. This can be anything from a top ten list to a step-by-step guide on how we can improve on whatever sport or activity you’re an expert at. We love to hear from professional athletes or instructors.
Example: How Freediving Makes You a More Confident Surfer
Conservation
We are always interested in knowing how to be better conservationists. Any stories related to marine conservation are welcome.
If you’re a marine biologist or oceanographer who’s uncovered new marine research, please tell us about it.
Example: How to Choose (and Wear) Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Gear Review
Did you just invest in a new piece of gear that you’d like to talk about? At The Salt Sirens, we want to know what’s worth spending money on and what isn’t. If you’ve spent days searching for the best gear you could find, share what you like and dislike. We will send over a template as a rough guide. You must have purchased this piece of gear yourself.
Example: Bahia Springsuit Review
Salt Siren Q&A
Do you want to be featured as a Salt Siren in our Q&A? Send over a little information about you, what sport you’re into, and some themes you’d love to talk about. We’ll get back to you with tailored questions. This is a great way to promote yourself as an instructor, researcher, artist, blogger, writer, or anyone else in the saltwater industry.
Example: Q&A with Laura Storm: Award-Winning Photographer, Diver, and Conservationist
Saltwater Stories
If you’ve just gone on an incredible adventure, why not share it with The Salt Sirens? This section showcases blog-style stories of Salt Sirens around the world — hopefully inspiring them to follow in your wake. There is a lot of creative freedom in this section. Feel free to share poems, funny stories, tales of romance, photo essays, artwork, fantasy, or anything else you think The Salt Sirens would love.
Example: Maldives Dive Matinee: The Manta Ray Bommie Ballet
