Pancho's Dinner
Whenever we have been to Cozumel we try to have Lunch or Dinner at Pancho’s Backyard of Los Cinco Soles. It is a beautiful restaurant that offers a variety of Mexican dishes, from traditional favorites to gourmet specialties. This time we had Dinner on my Birthday and, as they often do, there was live music.
If you happen to be in Cozumel and are looking for a nice place to enjoy Mexican cuisine, Pancho’s Backyard of Los Cinco Soles is a great option

Cozumel Dive 4
Welcome to my edited Diving video of San Clemente reef in Cozumel. In this video, I will show you some of the fish and other creatures that I encountered during my dive at one of the most beautiful sites in Cozumel. Some of the fish and other creatures that I saw include:
Banded Butterflyfish: These small fish have yellow and black stripes and a black spot on their rear dorsal fin.
Bi-Color Damselfish: These blue and yellow fish that live in shallow reefs and feed on algae.
Blue Chromis: These bright blue fish swim schools above the coral.
Blue Tang: These oval-shaped fish have blue bodies and yellow tails. They are also known as surgeonfish, because they have sharp spines on their sides.
Bluehead Wrasse - Initial Phase: These are fish that change color and shape as they grow. The initial phase is when they are young and have a blue head and a yellow body when older.
Caribbean Sharpnose Puffer: These small pufferfish have pointed noses and brown spots. They can inflate their bodies when threatened.
Feather Duster Worm: These tube-dwelling worms have a crown of feathery tentacles that they use to filter food from the water.
Foureye Butteryfly Fish: These white fish have black stripes and a black spot on their tail that looks like an eye to help them confuse predators.
French Angelfish: These large fish with black bodies and yellow edges. They are often seen in pairs or small groups.
Giant Anemone: These large anemones that have tentacles with stinging cells that they use to catch prey. They have a symbiotic relationship with some fish, such as clownfish, that live among their tentacles.
Gray Angelfish: These are similar to French Angelfish, but have a gray body and no yellow edges. They also have a black spot on their forehead.
Grooved Brain Coral: These hard corals have a brain-like appearance due to the grooves on their surface. They provide shelter and food for many reef animals.
Harlequin Bass: These colorful fish have a white body and black spots. They also have red, yellow, and blue markings on their fins and tail.
Honeycomb Cowfish: These box-shaped fish have hexagonal scales that form a honeycomb pattern. They also have horns above their eyes and can secrete a toxin when stressed.
Red Lionfish: These invasive fish have red, white, and black stripes and venomous spines. They have no natural predators in the Atlantic and can harm the native reef ecosystem.
Pipehorse: These relatives of seahorses have long, thin bodies and tube-like snouts. They camouflage themselves among the seagrass and coral.
Queen Parrotfish: These large parrotfish have blue-green bodies and pink lips. They use their beak-like teeth to scrape algae from the coral and produce sand as a byproduct.
Queen Triggerfish: These oval-shaped fish with blue, yellow, and purple markings. They have a spine on their back that they can lock in place to wedge themselves in crevices or deter predators.
Rock Beauty - Juvenile: Young Rock Beauty fish have a yellow body and a black spot on their tail. As they mature, they develop a black head and body with a yellow tail.
Sand Tilefish: These slender fish with blue-green bodies and yellow tails. They live in burrows under the sand and dart out to catch prey or flee from danger.
Scrawled Filefish: These flat fish have a brown body and blue lines. They have a retractable spine on their head and can change color to blend in with their surroundings.
Spotfin Butterflyfish: These white fish with black stripes and a black spot on their dorsal fin. They feed on coral polyps and other invertebrates.
Spotted Moray Eel: These are eels that have a brown body with white spots. They hide in holes and crevices and use their sharp teeth to catch fish and crustaceans.
Stoplight Parrotfish: These parrotfish that change color and sex during their life cycle. The initial phase is when they are female and have a red, brown, or green body. The terminal phase is when they are male and have a green body with a yellow spot on their head.
Yellow Jack: These are fast-swimming fish with a yellow body and a black stripe. They form large schools and hunt smaller fish.
White Speckled Hermit Crab: These are hermit crabs that have a white body with black spots. They live in empty shells that they carry around and swap when they grow.
Yellowline Arrow Crab: These crabs have a triangular body and long legs. They have yellow lines on their body and claws. They feed on small animals and debris.
Spotted Trunkfish: These box-shaped fish with black spots on a yellow background. They have a mouth at the end of a tube-like snout and can release a toxin from their skin when threatened.

Cozumel 2023 Dive 1 San Francisco Reef
Welcome to my video on the San Francisco Reef off the Island of Cozumel! In this video, I’ll take you on a journey through the warm and crystal-clear waters of this beautiful reef. You’ll see an abundance of marine life including Queen Angel fish, White Spotted Filefish, Honeycomb Cowfish and Ocean Triggerfish. Although only parts of the video are sped up, I slowed down at areas that I thought would be of more interest to someone. Unfortunately, due to something I did like possibly accidentally hitting the button stopping the recording at just over 20 Minutes, only the first part of the dive was recorded.
The San Francisco Reef is located on the southern end of San Francisco Beach, on the South Western area of Cozumel. It is a wall dive that generally has a medium current, which encourages healthy reef and sponge growth. The wall edge starts at about 50’ and is really a steep slope, but not a drop-off, to the depths. You can go as deep as you want. There are healthy barrel sponges and low profile coral. On the top edge of the wall towards shore are sandy bottom areas and a few small overhangs to hide out from the current. For this dive, we stayed on the top section of the wall hitting 70 to 80 ft.

Cozumel Dive 12 Wreck C-53
The C-53 was initially built for the United States Navy during World War II. It was an Admirable-class minesweeper. The ship’s original name was the USS Scuffle (AM-298) when it was originally commissioned in 1943 then built in Tampa, FL, in 1944. It was decommissioned in 1946 after World War II was over.
The ship was sold to the Mexican Navy in 1962 where it was renamed ARM DM-05. It was renamed again in 1994 as the ARM General Felipe Xicoténcatl (C-53). In 1999 it was artificially sunk, and it was taken off the official Mexican Navy rolls in 2000, one year later.
The location chosen for the wreck is just offshore from Chankanaab Park. The site was selected for many reasons including easy access for divers in an area sheltered from strong currents. It was lodged on a big sand bar where the ship would not cause any damage to the existing reef structures.

Cozumel sunset during Dinner 1st night
Removed audio because music in the restaurant would have had the video most likely removed. We ate at a small place called Rock 'n Java. The food was good, and the portions where very large.

After a clean install of Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 you will often get an error code 80072EFE when you try to do Updates. This video will walk you through the steps to make Windows updates work again.
I created this video last year and just got around to narrating it. I used Microsoft Clipchamp, and narration was done with the built in text to speech. Part of the video itself where either sped up or slowed down to match narration.
