  • More than a cave this is a big cavern in the sea, located on Mactan shore in Marigondon to be exact. The entrance is at approx. 27mtrs from the surface and the bottom of the cave is close to 35mtrs. The big entrance is covered with majestic sea fans of various colours ranging from red, orange, purples and yellows... Once inside, you may discover an array of fishes, eels and crabs and few other creatures living in this dark hostile environment. This cavern stretch about 30mtrs inward and it is definitely one of the dive site "to do" when in Mactan/Cebu.

    hey man, love your song choice. Vivaldi rips. Also, may I ask why there is a tombstone at the bottom of the cave?

      Hi, thank's for the comments, sorry havent been on my YT for awhile now... , I have another nice video about the Liloan wreck, you may like it too.... Apparently this tomb stone was set there post mortum, for a Japanese diver that used to love Marigondon cave, and so some friends put this for him their... That is the story I heard.

    Gday! I'm a half Filipino travel vlogger who cant speak tagalog.. but I'm planning to come to PH this year and learn what it's like to be 100% FILIPINO! Kabayan! I was wondering what are the best beaches/mountains to discover in PH? #RoadToPinas!

      Hi Antony! Glad to hear that you are planning a trip to the Philippines. They are so many things to visit. My passion is diving, and as far as diving is concern, the Philippines is just wonderful! Some of the nicest coral reefs in the world, warm water, good conditions throughout the year. I am sure you will love it. If you enjoyed this video, I have posted others, about the sharks of Malapascua, the sardines of Moalboal, the plane and ship wreck of Mactan/Cebu, maybe you can have a go at scuba diving when you are here. All the best.

I did part of my cave diving training in Marigondon at night to feature the condition of a real cave... Yes, Marigondon is quiet a beautiful cavern, always enjoy to dive there when I am in Cebu.

      @@alexhoksbergen6161 Yes. The Liloan shipwreck I also experienced.
      However, I couldn't go to Liloan because I worked as a guide in Cebu.
      From my personal experience, the Liloan Shipwreck is a very good memory.
      Having had the same experience, I felt the same thing, another thing.
      The Liloran Shipwreck is a very good point.
      But be careful.
      Beginners are careful to do it together.

    Are the rumors true that this underwater cave was the final resting place of Ferdinand Magellan?

      Thank you for watching, if you liked this video, check my other underwater videos. No, that's definitely not true. But if you dive and have the opportunity to come to Mactan, it is definitely a nice dive to do, beautiful fan coral at the entrance... Hopefully they are still there, and maybe healthier since few people have the opportunity to dive during these 2 years of Covid.
