21. Avatars:
Avatar: Avatars are representations of ourselves. An avatar is fun to have by your name in your posts. Usually they are cartoons or drawings but we have chosen to use miniature photos of ourselves. When we use photos of ourselves as avatars, it lets us get to know each other better. It is easier to remember faces than names, especially screen names. Since our purpose is to get to know each other and to dive together, our avatar policy promotes this. Please note that the picture you upload or have us help you to upload MUST be of you, preferably including your head/face. It can be a diving picture or a 'dry' shot, whichever you prefer. At this time rotating avatars are reserved for SD Staff only and therefore not permitted. See "My Controls" for how to upload your avatar.
Note: If you need help uploading or resizing a picture for your avatar, SD.com will help you do that. You send the pictures to us and we will send them back resized or cropped to highlight YOU! There is no charge for this service and is provided free of charge by some of our members.

Member Picture:
Many of you have asked if you can post a picture of yourself that isn't you but represents your personality. You may do so under "member picture".
Rules of our Community:
Every community has its rules and customs. A vibrant, fun, single and buddyless community like ours is no different! For example...Single on our site means 'not married' but also 'no dive buddy'. We are NOT a dating site...so sending pm's to all our attractive women or men...will usually get you reported for spam or harrassment. (So please use the open threads to let people get to know you...or better yet, post an intro in this forum.) And just as in life...the 'Golden Rule' on SingleDivers.com is that 'Whatever makes the Women Happy....Makes EVERYBODY Happy!" Since women represent such a small part (but growing) portion of total divers, we have worked very hard to create a comfortable, safe, and FUN environment for them to hang out in as well as offering 1-2 group single and buddyless dive trips a month vs. a year like most organizations for ALL our members to participate in and enjoy! And the best part is...whether there are 2, 20 or 200 members on the trip...it will NEVER BE CANCELLED! That is our committment to you for planning your vacation with us!
