Anyone there that can tell us about the effects of Alex the last couple of days?
 
I'm down here in Tulum Mexico. Yesterday was off/on downpour. The ocean was pretty angry from wind chop. We headed out for some mellow shore diving but came back after 11 minutes, too much chop, poor vis, currents.

Today the heavy rain is pretty constant, the skies are gray, there is some wind (but nothing violent). Power is on/off, there is quite a bit of water on the roads, a few trees are down (but it's pretty minor). I haven't been out yet in this downpour - would get soaked just walking to my car, but yesterday the roads were ok for driving.

Not sure what's going on in Coz or how the ocean looks today, but it's certainly not a good day for scuba diving in the ocean here. Nor was it in Puerto Morales yesterday.

I posted a report on the June 2010 thread. All is well. The pool is open. Overcast, vis good, plenty of critters. Going to the pool and beach. :) !!!

Alex passed well over 100 miles south of us at the Mexico/Belize border as a tropical storm - so it was nothing more than a rain event here.

We've had some heavy rain (not even thunderstorms - except for early Friday morning) for the past few days. There were however, no diving delays, cancellations, etc. Today is overcast, calm seas, overcast with on and off rain. Nothing to be concerned with.
