    This may be an old question or perhaps a tall tale. I have heard that somewhere around Negros island there is a sunken ship with a jeep type vehicle still strapped to the deck..The rumor is that people ,while diving, sit in the jeep and have their pic taken . Just curious if there is any truth to this tale.

    :eek: Well personally I have not heard of this but.......... knowing where we are anything is believable at times. We all know how People. Locals especially, like to pose for Photos!:cautious:

    Maybe you may get a positive answer from one of the diving members but of late i have not seen many (if any) posting of late. I will put my ear to the ground and see what the local jungle drums come up with:rolleyes: Some one around should know if this is so or just one of those rumour type things

    Anyway X, nice to see you found that keyboard again.

    JP:whistling:

    The 2 car wrecks in Dauin barely resemble a vehicle anymore..Never was a steering wheel on either of them.. There were 3 (VW transporter,Mustang and easy ride) in front of Pura Vida resort,but no seats or steering wheels...Miguel
