Under Water Cemetery


Sunken Cemetery, Catarman, Camiguin by Michelle Lyles.

A cemetery under the sea sounds a bit of scary if not absurd. But it does exist in Camiguin and people come to this tourist spot by crossing the sea to the large cross marker to get near the cemetery that was sunk by a volcanic eruption. The big cross serves is hollow inside for people to go up and see the entire view of the sunken cemetery.

From afar, the cemetery looked like a large coral reef with a lighthouse in the middle. The blue green waters hide the history and the essence of the place, which was intended for the dead. The waves of the sea come alive as they splash through the single monument in the middle of the raging water.
