Advanced rocky pinnacle off Serra-di-Ferro
Advanced rocky pinnacle off Serra-di-Ferro
Boat access makes a local dive operator the practical way to dive the site.
Sec 1 is a boat-served rocky pinnacle in Serra-di-Ferro with a shallow head and a long drop into deeper water. It suits advanced scuba divers who want a guided outing with clear-water visibility, sharp relief, and enough vertical range to feel like a proper deep dive rather than a casual scenic swim. The site rewards disciplined buoyancy and steady planning more than speed.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Advanced scuba suits the site best because the relief drops away from a shallow head into deep water.
Freediving
Freediving is only for very experienced divers comfortable with a shallow head and rapid depth changes.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the very shallow head; the deeper relief is the main attraction.
