Les Ferranelles
Les Ferranelles is a shallow dive (8 to 18 m) around a rocky reef and along a chain of rocks leading towards the Tascons. The park recommends it for watching many kinds of fish, and because it is shallow the local currents are more noticeable. Position estimated from maps and place names, for orientation only.
