Welcome to the EUF
The European Underwater Federation (EUF) was first formed in 1989 by a number of non-profit distributing European diver federations and subsequently expanded to include the major profit distributing training agencies. It thus acts as a platform to represent and protect the interests of European recreational diver at the EU level.
EUF is the European platform for the recreational diving community and is a non-profit company limited by guarantee and registered in the UK.
Aims
- To be a totally inclusive platform for all recreational diving activities, whether voluntary or remunerated;
- To be the consultative body for all matters concerning safety, regulation or legislation in areas affecting the recreational diving sector;
- To ensure that within these pursuits there is no discrimination because of race, nationality or creed.
