Divi Resorts Sponsors Caribbean Photo Tours with Joel Collins

March 31, 2011 on 9:58 am | In Adventure Travel, Barbados, Beachbooker, Caribbean, St. Maarten | Comments Off

International travel photographer to lead tours of St. Maarten and Barbados

Chapel Hill, N.C. – Divi Resorts, the Caribbean travel expert, has partnered with renowned photographer Joel Collins and Strabo Tours for upcoming photographic tours of the beautiful island of St. Maarten during the colorful Carnival festival in April and a tour of Barbados in early December.

The St. Maarten tour is April 25 to May 1 and will include photography workshops, education in the field, and critiques led by Collins, along with the lively dance, music, parades and pageantry of Carnival.

Visits to an open-air market, a charming fishing village known for excellent food and unique architecture, as well as a climb to a historic monument offering panoramic vistas, or simply relaxing on the white sand beach of the arc-shaped peninsula at the Divi Little Bay Beach Resort, are just a few of the extensive photo opportunities available to tour participants.

Based in Raleigh, N.C., Collins, who began his photography career following graduate school, has taken photographic journeys throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean.

He delights in showing others how to capture rare glimpses of an amazing planet and has had a passion for travel since his family moved to Germany at the tender age of three. Approaching travel photography with cultural sensitivity and respect for the people and places he visits is very important to him, and a principle he works hard to instill in others.

“I’m thrilled to lead these tours to two of my favorite Caribbean destinations. St. Maarten during Carnival is something one has to see, and this group will get to experience it up close in all its splendor,” said Collins.

Later this year, from December 10-17, Collins will conduct a photo workshop and tour to discover the essence of Barbados. Snorkeling, horseback riding, taking in a Cricket match, touring a 17th century plantation home, and visiting a flower cave with pools, cliffs and spectacular sunset views are all part of the itinerary.

Participants can uncover the natural beauty, cuisine, music and traditions of Bajan life.

The lovely all-suite Divi Southwinds Beach Resort, situated on a half mile of white sand beach nestled within 20 acres of tropical gardens, will serve as home base for the week-long tour of this inspiring Caribbean jewel.

“The Barbados tour is specially designed for those who love photography and have a sense of adventure. It will be an unforgettable discovery of Barbados as seen through Bajans who know it best,” added Collins.

Diving for Nova Scotia scallops

March 31, 2011 on 9:45 am | In Beachbooker, Canada, Dine Drink, Nova Scotia, Sailing, Scuba Diving | Comments Off

These scallops are firm, free of grit and beloved by chefs across Canada.

The way Christian Kreiberg tells it, it sounds like the perfect way to spend an August day in southwestern Nova Scotia.

Hailing from BC and Alberta, he and his family were gathered in the province for a two-week reunion with their East Coast relatives. One of the highlights of their stay: a scuba-diving trip to harvest fresh, local scallops for that night’s barbecue.

This was a first-time experience for Kreiberg and clan, who joined three divers on their boat. “Our friends are locals and they did the diving. We came for the ride and to reap the rewards.”

An eight-m (26-ft) open dory served as the dive base and was stocked with diving gear, a cooler full of cold ones and the requisite license from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).

Destination: the prime scallop grounds north of the village of Port Mouton at the seaside adjunct to Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site. (“Keji,” as it’s called, is also known for white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and interpretive tours of 18th- and 19th-century Mi’kmaq petroglyphs).

BeachBooker Beach VillasWild, hand-picked, ecologically friendly Nova Scotia scallops are firm, free of grit and beloved by chefs across Canada.

It took just 45 minutes at seaside Keji for the divers to fill their bags with 100 scallops, the limit per license.

Only the muscle is eaten from these succulent, sweet-tasting bivalve mollusks.

There’s a DFO regulatory caveat, though: “Scallop meats must be attached to at least one half of the shell until landed.”

Get Your Barbecue Tools HereBack on shore, Kreiberg said it best: “Cut the muscle from the shell, add a drop of soya sauce and eat it fresh from the shell. Just like sushi.”

For information on licenses, harvest openings, catch limits and other regulations for recreational scallop divers, contact Nova Scotia Fisheries and Aquaculture. Visitors can rent diving gear and buy bags at various dive shops, including Torpedo Rays Scuba in Dartmouth and Halifax.
