Alphabetically:

 

In any diving emergency, the more quickly you seek treatment, the more likely you are to get full resolution of the problem. These numbers are provided by Reef Seekers as a public service. They are, to the best of our knowledge, accurate as of January 5, 2009. (We have not yet verified the Lifeguard and Coast Guard numbers.) Also remember that there is a chance some of these may change subsequent to our publication of them.

These numbers are generally intended to help you initiate immediate first aid and treatment for diving accidents. If you have a question that is of a general nature, and does not involve the immediate resolution of a possible diving accident, please use the non-emergency numbers listed.

IF YOU'RE ON THE WATER AND HAVE A DIVING EMERGENCY WHICH REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE/EVACUATION:
 MARINE RADIO: Channel 16.
Call for the Coast Guard, state the vessel name and location, declare that you have a scuba diving emergency which requires immediate assistance, and that your diver is either conscious/unconscious and breathing/non-breathing. USCG will move you to another channel, get the info, and dispatch help. The Lifeguards and the Chamber also monitor Channel 16 and will hear what's going on.
If radio contact is not an option and you have a cell phone with service, you can also use the emergency numbers listed below.
