Diving into the Waters of Imelda Cave, Hundred Islands

The Imelda cave is a must-see if you're going to Hundred Islands, Alaminos, Pangasinan. It is located at Marcos Island which is named after a former president of the Philippines. The waters from the cave will take you back to the shore.

The sign said it all

From the shore, there's a few minutes of climbing to the cave. The islands has stairs made of stones and soil. You can enjoy the amazing view of greens and blues of the sea while walking.

Waters? Better wear our life-vests on

The water was really deep. We did not dive in because it's a bit dark, we did not know what lies beneath. We just climbed down the bamboo stairs into the waters. I remember the scene in the movie 127 hours where they dove into Blue John in Grand Canyon, the experience could've been like that if we jumped into the water. Then we fought our way back to the shore and took a souvenir shot, "We survived!"

whew!
