Mogan Wrecks

Posted on

Mogan Wrecks are two fascinating shipwreck dive sites located just off the beach of Mogan in southern Gran Canaria. Both wrecks lie at approximately 18 metres depth and are perfect for experienced divers and certified open water divers.

The wrecks, Cermona II and Alagranza, were intentionally sunk by the Yellow Submarine Company in the mid-1990s and early 2000s to create an attractive dive and submarine sightseeing experience.

The two wrecks lie only 50 metres apart, making it easy to explore both during a single dive. The old fishing vessels now provide a rich habitat for marine life, creating the sensation of diving inside a living aquarium.

Divers will encounter:

  • Large shoals of barracuda and grunts
  • Stingrays and eagle rays
  • Octopus and moray eels
  • Various reef fish thriving around the wrecks

During the dive, you may hear the yellow submarine passing nearby. For safety, divers typically gather on top of one of the wrecks, waving to the tourists on board—an unforgettable experience.
