Wayne;
Have a great time. FYI, I love Akumal, but Akumal doesn't have good beach diving-fringing reef in most places and generally too windy. Doesn't have very good boat diving, either. Unless you're going to the cenotes or diving is incidental to the trip, head to Cozumel.
One piece of unrequested advice: if you're taking the little ones diving, get them on nitrox even if you're staying shallow. Elevated PN2 is bad news and the current thinking links N2 induced RBC rigidity with isobaric osteonecrosis. That could be more problematic in growing bones.
