Doña Marilyn

The Doña Marilyn was an inter-island passenger ferry lost in Typhoon Unsang in October 1988, a disaster that killed a large number of the people aboard; accounts of the toll vary into the hundreds. The roughly 90 m hull now lies on its starboard side on sand at about 33 m, thickly furred in black coral and soft growth, sheltering scorpionfish, sweetlips, and clouds of baitfish, with rays sometimes resting in its lee. Dive it as what it is, a grave as well as a reef: no souvenirs, restrained penetration for the trained only, and quiet respect for the door frames people once walked through.
