Camiguin, an island-province on the northern coast of the Mindanao archipelago in the Philippines. It is the country’s second-smallest province, a veritable treasure trove of natural attractions, both on land and under the sea. Especially under the sea. Camiguin has volcanoes, waterfalls, natural springs and varied flora and fauna in the terrestrial environment.
And then, there are beautiful corals, sea turtles, a myriad of fishes, performing their wondrous routines in the pristine aquatic habitats. The shores and underwater bounties of Camiguin are multi-faceted, all marvellous, tantalizing and inviting. Diver’s paradise is what it is. It is also beachlover and snorkeler’s haven.
