The list of the Seven Underwater Wonders of the World was created by CEDAM International (Conservation, Education, Diving, Awareness and Marine research), a non-profit organization of divers. This organization is dedicated to the Sea research and conservation.

CEDAM began the Seven Underwater Wonders project in 1989 in order to protect the underwater wonders, before they will be lost forever.
