Sunken Cemetery Camiguin

Heritage • Camiguin
About this destination

An underwater cemetery off the coast of Camiguin Island, submerged when the Vulcan Daan volcano erupted in 1871, causing the old town and its cemetery to sink below sea level. A large white cross marks the site just offshore, serving as both a memorial and a popular snorkeling spot. The sunken tombstones and volcanic rocks beneath the surface create an eerie but fascinating dive site.
