About Pecio Arona

Pecio Arona is a large Spanish freighter wreck off Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, a boat-access wreck dive that sits on its side and has become a productive artificial reef. Its long hull and superstructure give experienced divers a clear route through a broad, structure-rich site, with plenty of ledges, hiding places, and open-water passes to explore. This is a deeper wreck that rewards good buoyancy, a steady pace, and a clear dive plan more than a casual sightseeing approach.
