Hurricane Dean - Playa del Carmen
Sunday, 19th August 2007
We are all watching the forecast and following the tracking of Dean. At the moment nobody knows where (if it will ) hit the Mayan Riviera. It is said that after passing through Jamaica we will have a more certain forecast, if it goes to the North of the Yucatan peninsula or may go towards Chetumal at the south. One thing seems be true, Dean is in our way... Everything indicates, that the hurricane is gone by Tuesday noon. Please, find here useful links to follow Hurricane Dean with updated info:

19.35 pm...just arrived from our work and fun day. Today morning we have been diving in Chac-Mool, sunny day, calm, very nice weather and awesome dives !, after arriving to Playa del Carmen we went to the beach to do some Kitesurf.
Hurricane Dean moved south to Costa Maya and its expected that the eye hit in Mahajual, in spite this everybody worked preventing homes, cars, shops, plants, etc. We took some pictures before the storm and if god wants we will take more after the hurricane to share with you, we are expecting water and wind more like a tropical storm but nature is nature so we can not afirm anything.
