On deck or outdoors, "Attention on Deck" is generally called by whoever sees the officer first if the assembly of personnel present isn't generally aware of the officers' approach, or if the officer appears suddenly from inside a building, when that officer is within saluting range or near saluting range of the nearest junior person present. If indoors or aboard ship, it's called when the officer enters the space if the protocol is required.
At a formal unit assembly, the command will generally be given by the Senior Enlisted present or Senior Officer - it depends on who's present at the time and what the unit regulations are.
For Quarterdecks, the Quarterdeck Watch (or Topside Watch on a Submarine) will call AoD when the officer comes into saluting range. For Flag Officers (including the CO), the watch will ring the ship's bell an announce their arrival over the ship's 1MC circuit (General Announcement).
In other words - outdoors and on deck, it's never a sure thing, but for most units it's when the officer is within saluting range of the nearest junior member to that officer. Indoors, it's easy, as it's always when the officer enters the room.
Each unit/command usually has its own instructions for Naval protocol - this includes Marine Corps Commands, as they are a part of the Navy and use Navy terminology as well as their own.

If it is a commissioned U. S. Navy vessel and you are in uniform, at the top of the brow come to attention, face the Ensign (flag) located at the fantail or aft end of the ship and salute the Ensign. Then face and salute the Officer of the Deck on the Quarterdeck and "Request permission to come aboard Sir". If you are in civilian attire, at the top of the brow come to attention, face the Ensign (flag) located on the fantail or aft end of the ship. Then face the Office of the Deck on the Quarterdeck and "Request permission to come aboard Sir". I don't think civilian vessels stand on ceremony very much.
