Default Akumal 2013

We were in Akumal for 7 days and dove two dives a day for 6 of the 7 days. The weather was great! We only had rain for 10 minutes of the 7 days we were there. If you are a diver, you got to go to Half Moon Bay and dive with Akumal Dive Adventures. For some of the dives my wife and I were the only two divers on the boat and we dove wherever we wanted. The most divers we had on the boat was 5.
Anyways, thought I would share some pics and movies.
Having trouble with the Dropbox links...will sort it out.

That would be the only reason I can think of why I would leave Canada...to dive in the morning and have a new fish in my tank by noon.

I developed a connection with a juvi Queen Angel last year in a Mayan Riviera resort beach. Every morning I snorkeled I would find it in the same rock cavern....it was the brightest thing in the sight.

Your beautiful photos brings back good memories. Thanks for sharing Treebeard.

And man, don't blue damsels sparkle something awesome.

The damsels are definitely beautiful. It is so cool to see schools of fry swimming around the lettuce coral heads. Heaven under the seas!

Akumal, what a great place... I didn't dive, but snorkeled there with my family. Beautiful area, and lots of turtles, so close that you can grab them... But you can't of course. Rules you now.

Great pic's!!!
