Sunken Cemetery
Why dive here
With 82+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), whale sharks and pufferfish - Sunken Cemetery offers some of Siargao's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest June, August, September.
Diving the Sunken Cemetery off Siargao is more interesting than its name might suggest. It’s actually the remains of a small, modern fishing boat, now resting upright at about 19 meters. We found schools of small jacks circling the mast, and a few lionfish tucked into the pilothouse, which you can easily peek into. It’s a straightforward dive, very calm and shallow enough for newer divers to feel comfortable exploring, a nice contrast to some of Siargao’s driftier spots. The wreck itself isn't huge, but it's a pleasant place to spend some time watching the resident fish.
