About this site

Ferranelles is a small rock on the south side of the Medes islands, between Tasco Petit and Meda Gran. The dive is a gentle slope over rock that can reach 30 metres, and it is easy enough to be safe for every type of diver.

This part of the island is full of marine life. Groupers, moray eels, octopuses, barracudas and pink flabellina are permanent residents, and it is not uncommon to cross the path of common eagle rays and moonfish.
