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.
