Maggies a comin’
October 29, 2007 – 12:17 amGood news is…. you’re coming down again in November Maggie. We hope to see you around in Tulum a bit more this time. You can check out the new shop at El-Crucero Hotel. It’s shaping up pretty nicely. Too many mosquitos right now but other than that, it’s a nice spot to hang out and the bar and restaurant are right there, kind of like home sweet home.
See you soon and lets dive together this time, hopefully we’ll have another El Norte then. Right now the diving has been awesome in the ocean for the last few days with flat calm seas and excellent vis.
Here’s a couple of nice photos a customer, Ben Greazel sent to us from his dives a couple of weeks ago.
Not bad for his first attempts at underwater photos.
Thanks Ben for sending the photos

Turns out that it was Cesar who took the turtle photo with Ben’s camera, I touched it up a bit in GIMP, my latest toy. It’s a nice fully featured photo editing program I downloaded. It’s my latest toy, can’t you tell, it was free and Open Source. Check it out, it can fix up bright spots, colors or whatever, lots of funny words in it that I didn’t understand like de-saturating etc.
Seas are calm again and Traci (customer, yes we get them once in a while) said it was super diving today and she prefers diving in Tulum to Playa and Cozumel where she usually dives, another convert?
Bye for now. How many days now.
Gato eh! All I can say is I wouldn’t want to be a raton.

I take care of bano business and carefully exit this dark place…….all was well until I took the final step down to re-join my group.
Big breath IN……………..stepped down into the dark humid night…..and WAMMO…….I dun sucked in skeeter up me nostril!!!!!!

Kiwi, immediately jumped up and was on his toes ready to assist me with my dilema, he could sense the urgency in the air or maybe it was just that sugary shit that he had been drinking that had him all hopped up….either way…..he was at my service…..and service is what Maya Diving is all about!
So, I had the little sucker by the wing……with my finger on the OUTSIDE of my nose……..den hottie Kiwi says…..I have one of two options……neither of which are gonna be pleasant………I am told!
But least he was helping…..DH was over in corner just shakin’ his head…..only my Mags!\
So Kiwi, explains the following options….which also included a short brief, clear and concise demonstration…..ya know that Maya Diving service!
1. Blow out hard as I can…….there is mucho risk that this will NOT work as the timing of lifing the finger and blowing must be delicatly cooordinated and if not done correctly the situation will get worse long before it gets better.
OR……..old school it…….
2. Suck in, release finger…….den real, real hard…….go for the muther load of a luggy…….like yer life depends on it……..I am told that for me, this is the option I should choose……….after a small demonstration, from my lovey DM friend…….I was aiming for some palm tree about 12 feet away……….
I sucked in, released the beast………..and dug deep, I mean real deep…..I think I even got the remainer of the pneonmna that I had left in my lungs from childhood…….and outta my mouth came skeeter…….dang thing did sumersault……bounced otta pile of phlem……and flew off inta distance……..what a wild ride that musta been!
I turned to my DM peeps, took my bow and shot of tequilla that was waiting for me!
And THAT is how to get a Mexican skeeter otta nose!
I think Kiwi and I have bonded on a level that most will never understand!LOL
Thanks again Kiwi!
