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.

Scuba Diving

Relaxed guided circuit around the rock, with shallow ledges, a deeper outer face, and plenty of photo targets.

Possible only as a short calm-water swim; the site is more naturally suited to scuba than to repeated breath-hold laps.

Snorkeling

Works best as a brief calm-water stop, but the strongest features sit around the submerged rock faces.
