With its 13,676-kilometer coastline and an archipelago of around 6,000 islands (227 inhabited), Greece has an astonishing variety of scuba diving on offer, from big wall drop-offs and deepwater caves, to ancient wrecks and coral reefs.
It may be unsurprising to learn that before 2005, scuba diving in Greece faced severe restrictions. A seafaring nation with a long and rich maritime past, the high concentrations of antiquities and historic wrecks forced the authorities, fearing sites would be looted, to impose a near blanket ban on scuba diving at many areas around the mainland and islands.
Following a review by the European Union, which felt the restrictions hindered tourism, the Greek government gradually modified the rules and lifted many of the restrictions, opening the door to the burgeoning world of dive tourism.
