About Scoglio Ferale
Scoglio Ferale is a boat-only dive around a rocky sea stack off the La Spezia coast, usually run as a short guided loop from the San Terenzo side. The route circles sheltered ledges, a more open outer face, and sponge-covered rock with gorgonian fans, so the dive stays compact but varied from start to finish. Plan it for settled seas and treat it as an easy, low-fuss boat dive rather than a rough-water day.
