Athens 5th of February 2006Â
From the day that the new law that frees all Greek seas to divers came into effect, feelings of hope and joy filled all the divers in the country.
In order to celebrate the effect of this new law, all divers were gathered at Kavouri bay near Vouliagmeni in Athens and organized a diving celebration event. Dive centers provided their rib boats, and everybody brought their diving gear in order to conduct a symbolic dive to a place that until now it was forbidden to dive.
The event was covered by the Greek Media with the presence of politicians from the government and the Opposition parties and representative from the Department of Underwater Antiquities.
The symbolic dive was followed by beach cleaning activity showing the sensitivity and concern of Greek divers about environmental issues.
The event closed with a banquet at the beach.
This brand new start symbolizes the beginning of a new period for the diving lovers either from Greece or from abroad promising a new experiences to those interested finding new and interesting dive destinations.
