Camiguin Sunken Cemetery

[Ed Palma]

Hello there!

I just searched Google and couldn't find any really good pics of this site. Does anyone have a link to some good shots from the cemetery? Anything interesting here?

Thanks.

Thanks Jigo!

Been really curious about this place. I don't think you'll really have problems with it flooding. I hear most of it is under 20 feet deep only.

Thanks pala din Jigo, but I'm really after the underwater shots

there's really nothing to see underwater, no more headstones etc, only thing left is a big cement cross under 7ft of water, doesn't really resemble a cemetery anymore... to tell you the truth, i got suckered into going... there are other more intreresting sites to visit in camiguin

here's a surface pic, don't mind the good looking guy in it ;^D

so what happened to the tombstones bing? i thought they would have lots of coral growth by now.

hi james, tombstones just aren't there anymore, local boatmen say they just deteriorated thru time, all that's left are rocks and indistinguishable ruble, there are so so sporadic coral growths... 15 or 16 years ago i swear i remember seeing remnants of the cemetery
