Farayo / Großer Käse is a boat dive off Cala Ratjada with a hole-pocked rock.
Farayo / Großer Käse is a boat dive off Cala Ratjada built around a rock riddled with holes and short passages, plus a connected plateau. The layout keeps the dive moving between the rock face, the openings, and the broader ledge instead of staying on one flat contour. Light current can make the site livelier and push barracuda and sardine shoals through the rock. It suits divers who want a compact Mediterranean rock dive with active fish life and normal operator-run boat access.

Scuba Diving
Rock formation with holes and passages plus a connected plateau reaching about 28 m.
Freediving
Best for confident freedivers on calm days with guidance; the openings and mild current make it more interesting than a plain shallow reef.
Snorkeling
Guided boat snorkels can work in calm weather, but the rock openings make it a better fit for active snorkelers than casual shore visitors.
