Abstract: Abstract In the perspective of utilizing the marine cultural wealth of the country, the Greek state formed an institutional framework for the development of diving tourism. The Greek legislator, influenced by the investment nature of tourism development, moved with a broad mind to shape leisure diving activity away from the strict framework of professional diving. The present study examines the new institutional framework by examining whether the new provisions for the development of diving tourism meet the needs of the protection of marine archaeological resources but also the need for sustainable tourism development.
