Maya Diving in Tulum

Thanks for everything from Tiffany

June 29, 2009 – 11:06 am
I just wanted to let you all now how much my vacation meant to me.. My mom and I started out in the Discover Diving course at Dreams Tulum about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and found out (through some persuasion from Jamie) that this was everything we were looking for out of a vacation, and more. Our experience was phenomenal, but for me it was even more than that. It may sound corny, but I finally found everything I was looking for. Yes is changed my life.. I don't want to sit behind a desk all day and let the world move on. I want to be a part of it. Since I have been home I have hooked up with some local divers and planned the next leg of my journey. My ultimate goal is an instructor, but for now we are settling on my advanced open water through ...

First Dive Club Barbecue!!

November 13, 2008 – 12:17 am
Calling all water lovers and divers. The Siren is calling. Maya Dive Club's first barbecue is happening!!!! this Saturday, Nov. 15th. 7 pm at El Crucero. If in doubt, scream and shout. Write this down in your calendar, everyone else will write it in their history books but you will be able to put it in your memoirs (if you come). Awesome live rock music, massive barbecue, all the booze you can afford (that bit's not free), dancing on the floor, dancing on stage (the tables) in uniform (the lamp shades) and more. We might even get some business attended to like when and where and who for our first club dive. We will vote on the secret club handshake and password so you've got to be there, your future's at steak. Pass the barbecue sauce. I know, I know I'm supposed to be Mr. serious Admin but who's going to edit me out eh!!

Hello everyone this is my first blog.......... Well done yesterday to our two new certified Open Water Divers. Julie and Laszlo, a couple of Aussies.

What do women really want?

August 17, 2008 – 4:24 pm
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question?....What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, ...

Thank you

May 17, 2008 – 4:23 pm
I would like to say Thank you to Danielito. A 5 minute decision! I got talked into getting certified with my husband Curtis. You see I don't really like the water, and had no plans of ever going scuba diving. First pool session - was very hard for me. If it was not for Daniel's patience and passion for diving - I may have chickened out. December 19th we completed our last dive for certification with a flip in the water. I am excited and look forward to our next trip. We will return to Tulum and Maya Diving. Coralee www.flugfamily.blogspot.com

Tulum marine conservation zone project ideas

December 23, 2007 – 1:52 pm
For any one who is interested, I am planning to begin work with some other people to begin the processes necessary for the establishment of a marine reserve in the Tulum area. Beginning in January 2008 we will begin discussions with a local lawyer and accountant to form a non-profit foundation with a charter of seeking and administering aid and donations for conservation and protection of a local reef area to be defined but initially we are considering dividing the reefs into take and no take zones and working with local fishermen and enlisting the aid of enforcement officials to control and protect the no take zones. Other measures would include: Establishing permanent moorings in shallow reef areas for snorkeling and diving boats to safely moor without reef damage. Providing educational materials regarding reef ecosystems and the importance of conserving them. Collecting research materials from many sources to support the validity and importance ...

Christmas party

December 18, 2007 – 12:07 am
Saturday night we had a little fiesta at El Crucero. It was fun, Santa Mark and his little elf Sharon even delivered some gifts for the good little boys and girls who came. Conrad wandered around and took some photos, not too bad for a 6 year old: That's Conrad there on the right and the one with the silly grin, well that's me, Tim.
