There is no diphthong here. This is a fairly standard mistake of
English-speakers when pronouncing Spanish words. Oll-bosh should be closer.
Of course a real Maya might disagree. Lose those pesky diphthongs, your
Spanish will sound better immediately. Similar to a German that learns to
say 'what' instead of 'vot'.

Vot, no politics? Can't have that. I wanna know what wonderful things the
Mayas have done for other countries. Apart from starting to reclaim
California, that is. 

Who do you dive with these days?
