Back to newsA 23-year-old man with total blindness has become the first certified diver in Crete, completing his SCUBA certification despite having no sight. The achievement highlights the growing accessibility of diving activities on the island, where dive centers along the northern and southern coasts offer guided experiences in some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean. Crete's dive sites, ranging from shallow reefs to underwater caves and wrecks, are accessible to a wide range of abilities. For tourists interested in diving, certified centers operate in Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos, offering beginner and advanced courses throughout the summer season. This story is a reminder that water sports in Crete are increasingly inclusive, and visitors with disabilities are encouraged to inquire directly with local dive schools about adapted programs and available support.
