The Filipino Lady's Grave


Patricia and Erina Looking for the Grave Stone Marker and Being Followed by the Ever Present Yellowtail Snappers

We dove with Enes, Everett and Clifford at Belize Diving Adventures and the "tall tales" were as plentiful as the beautiful reef fish we enjoyed. I think Everett's best story was when he told us that a Filipino Lady had been granted her dying wish and had her ashes scattered outside the reef at her favorite dive spot. He said we would probably even be able to find the grave stone marker that had been erected in her honor some years later. Talk about hook, line and sinker! We swallowed that one bigtime. I mean, it is so beautiful, it is only common sense to think someone would want to be scattered there!

Needless to say, no matter how hard they looked, Patricia and Erina never did find the marking for the "Filipino Lady" while Everett and Clifford had a good laugh for days!
