Araganza wreck (Puerto de Mogán)
Araganza is a former large fishing vessel sunk off Puerto de Mogán in the early 1990s as an artificial reef and tourist attraction, at about 20 m. It lies about 60 m from the Cermona II, so with no current both can be seen on one dive; a submarine carrying tourists passes over it. Position estimated from the marina; the wreck name is spelt in several ways (Araganza, Arigansa, Allegranza).
