Organizacje nurkowe
Organizacje nurkowe to powołane przez państwa, instytucja naukowe, firmy lub osoby prywatne podmioty, mające na celu tworzenie ram organizacyjnych, prawnych i szkoleniowych dla celów nurkowania. Można podzielić je na zajmujące się nurkowaniem: Rekreacyjnym, Technicznym, Naukowym czy komercyjnym (prace podwodne). Istnieją również organizacje będące zrzeszeniem organizacji nurkowych i pełniące rolę platformy wymiany informacji i ustalania wspólnych standardów: EUF, WRSTC.
Istnieją również organizacje zajmujące się ratownictwem i wspieraniem nurków: np.DAN
