Old Gui-ob Church Ruins or the Catarman Church Ruins are ruins of adobe walls of the church, belfry and convent that are testimonials to the wrath of the earthquake and eruption of Mt. Vulcan in 1871. 

They are still conducting masses on this church for the people near the place. At the back of this church, there is a lighthouse and a century old tree that stands bravely. This untouched gigantic tree lives in Camiguin.

Go to Mantigue Island, this island is surrounded by luminous white sand. This place is good for swimming, snorkeling and diving; you will see the brilliant beauty of the underwater species you can’t imagine.  People here are very warm and friendly. You will feel that you own this paradise!

Sunken Cemetery

The large cross in Camiguin serves as the marker of the “sunken cemetery” literally buried underwater after Mt. Vulcan erupted in 1870’s. This is one of the most unique diving spot as the corals covered all the gravestones beneath.

The best time to go here is waiting for the sunset; as there is a beautiful reflection of the sun towards the huge cross. This place is the most visited in Camiguin.
