Most diamonds aren't formed from compressed coal. Rather they are compressed and heated 90 miles below the surface of the Earth, while Coal is found about 2 miles below the Earth's surface.
Being "blind as a bat" means not being blind at all. While many use echolocation to navigate, all of them can see.
