About Le Ferrando
Le Ferrando is a late-19th-century coal carrier wreck in the Hyeres harbor area, resting on sand and broken into hard-to-read sections. The site is shallow enough to draw regular wreck divers, but the real interest is the cargo remnants, tiles, and debris fields where eels shelter. Plan it as a guided boat dive with careful attention to harbor traffic, mooring, and surface control rather than as a high-current adventure.

Scuba Diving
Wreck dive around 25 m on a sandy bottom.
Freediving
Not a sensible freedive target; the wreck sits too deep and the harbor traffic makes breath-hold work impractical.
Snorkeling
Not suitable for snorkeling except as a surface transit; the wreck itself is far below meaningful snorkel depth.
