Akumal - Happy 50th!

Fifty years ago, a Mexican aquatic archeologist named Pablo Bush Romero (1905-1998), "rediscovered" Akumal as he was looking for the wreckage of the Spanish merchant frigate, Nuestra Senora de Matanceros (1741). He loved Akumal so much that he bought the property from a local land-owner and established Akumal as a diver's enclave.

Myrna Bush (a daughter of Pablo Bush Romero), is producing a video about the discovery and founding of Akumal, titled "AKUMAL - HALF CENTURY AGO - The Rescue of Matanceros." View the trailer - http://vimeo.com/3993300
