Dive Spot Guide•
Cala Ferriol
Shallow Costa Brava cove dive with a tunnel and red coral.
Good for calm-day shore access; the shallow rock and tunnel make it accessible, but the overhead section still needs care.
About Cala Ferriol
Cala Ferriol is a shallow Costa Brava cove dive centered on a rock pinnacle and an underwater tunnel. The site is known for red coral, sponges, and a mix of octopus, morays, scorpionfish, nudibranchs, and snappers in and around the rock. It is a good fit for calm days and relaxed snorkeling or beginner diving, but the overhead section means you still need to stay disciplined.
