Dive and Dine with Regaldive
With the average 30 to 45 minute dive session burning over 500 calories a go, there’s no such thing as over-indulgence on a dive holiday. For those looking to take full advantage of this fact, UK based diving holiday specialist Regaldive has a range of tantalising food-inspired dive holidays on offer in the Caribbean.
Divers with a sweet tooth will be spoilt for choice on the Spice Island of Grenada. Visit between 18th and 24th August 2014 and join in Grenada’s first ever Chocolate Festival. Guests staying at the beautiful True Blue Bay Resort can combine chocolate specials at breakfast, visits to the Chocolate Factory and a multitude of chocolate themed cooking and tasting events with Grenada’s 50 plus dive sites, including the Bianca C and Hema 1 wrecks. A seven night stay at the True Blue Bay Resort, departing on 17th August 2014, costs from £1,539 per person to include return flights, transfers and B&B accommodation. The Chocolate Festival Program costs an additional £125 per person and an eight dive, dive pack costs from £248 per person.
Alternatively, for those looking for world class cuisine then Bonaire, which is also widely regarded as the Caribbean’s top shore diving destination, is the ideal offering. Bonaire is a regular winner of the ‘Taste of the Caribbean’ competition and is known for its exotic mixture of local and international flavours. Above the water, guests can dine on delicious fresh local ingredients, including lionfish, while watching the dive action taking place at the shore. Below the water, divers can explore the nutrient rich waters and the Caribbean’s first protected Marine Park, home to over 300 species of fish. A seven night stay at Buddy Dive Resort in Bonaire costs from £1,427 per person to include return flights, transfers and B&B accommodation. A six days unlimited shore diving pack costs from £95 per person.
