Dive Spot Guide•
Bau de la Ferrera
Bau de la Ferrera is a calm Cap de Creus boat reef.
Local operator required
This is normally run as a guided boat dive from the Cadaqués / Cala Jóncols side.
Boat access from Cadaqués or Cala Jóncols, shallow shoal-to-wall terrain, and little current make Bau de la Ferrera a relaxed Cap de Creus dive.
About Bau de la Ferrera
Bau de la Ferrera is a compact Cap de Creus boat dive where a shallow shoal drops onto boulders and walls that you circle with the reef on your right. The site is easy to plan because the normal route is simple, the current is usually light, and the appeal is in the rock structure, coralligenous growth, and wall life rather than depth. It is a classic calm-day dive in the Cadaqués area.

Local Intel For Bau de la Ferrera
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat dive with a slow loop along the reef and wall. The site suits careful buoyancy and an easy pace more than deep gas planning.
Freediving
Freediving can work on the shallow shoal in calm water, but the wall and deeper sections are better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here; most of the site's value sits on the reef edge and wall below the surface.
