Dive pics from Akumal and Cozumel
 
Just thought I would share some of our photos from our August vacation to Akumal and Cozumel. The diving was spectacular as was the weather, with the exception of a brush with Hurricane Ernesto.

These are from Akumal. We dove with Akumal Dive Adventures, a nice little dive shop within walking distance of where we stayed.

those pics are great!!! you got to dive with sea turtles....you lucky duck! When i was there a long time ago now, we didn't see any. Great pics, can't wait to see the cozumel shots. :biggrin:

Treebeard 10-07-2012 05:57 PM

Thanks, but I cannot take credit for the diving pics. My dive buddy, aka my wife took most of them. That's her and my other dive buddy chick-friend on the bike.

Yes, there were lots of turtles. We witnessed a few nests hatching on the beach in front of our condo.

Unfortunately a lot of nests were lost in the hurricane.

These are turtle eggs. There were people picking up the eggs after the hurricane and taking them back to the Centro Ecológico Akumal hoping to hatch them.

Lovely photos! The pic of the motorbike is hilarious (although also annoying that it was there to begin with!).

We are planning our next trip to be Cozumel, so it's great to see some pics. :)

Treebeard 10-08-2012 03:19 PM

The motorcycle was placed there intentionally by a local dive shop. Of course they drained all the fluids and made it reef friendly. They anchored it in the sand at the end of a very nice reef, now known as Motorcycle Reef. :biggrin:
