Pasito Blanco, Artificial Reef and Cermona II wreck 

Artificial Reef
This dive site is not to be missed. The artificial reef was built on the initiative of the University of Las Palmas, an artificial biotope, built and laid near Pasito Blanco directly online with the cement factory in El Pajar. The idea was to create a refuge to species endangered by intensive fishing and has now become a real aquarium. The odd shapes have been studies by the University for years and have proven to work. The pods lying in an otherwise barren area which is only sand, but where the tell tale outline of the many Angel Shark who lay motionless sleeping in the sand.

Pasito Blanco
This dive site features a variety of ledges and rock plateaus that hold a multitude of fish and a sandy bottom where Rays and Angle Sharks are a common occurrence. There is also a presence of Roncador grunts and enormous Barracuda not forgetting the many Moray Eels, Tiger, Bull Nose and Black who rest under the over hangs. This is a favorite dive site for both new visitors and regular clients of the dive centre, due to the extended dive time and concentration of marine life. It is also one of the few sites boasting a high concentration of soft Corals on the Eastern end of the reef.

The Cermona II- Mogan
The wreck of the Cermona II lies 60 meters away from the Alagranza and was sunk in March 2002, fortunately we were there the day she sunk and there are lots of photos in the dive centre of the sinking. We also have the honor of being the very first to dive on the wreck, not hard really considering we were in the water, kitted up, before she even hit the bottom!! Time has passed and the Cermona II has settled in perfectly to her surroundings. Like her underwater sister ship, Roncadors, Barracuda and Trumpet fish have made their home in the twisted mental that once formed her hull. Sea Bream overlook both wrecks and if your are lucky the Yellow Submarine may be doing a trip around the wrecks, full of inquisitive tourist snapping photos of the diver who I am sure, they think are all part of the excursion. This is an ideal dive for all level of scuba diver and they are a perfect introduction to Wreck Diving. We have, over the years made a detailed Specialty Course for Wreck diving using both.
