I also use mine so that I may be easily recognized by fellow scuba boarders....oddly enough, unlike Sam, no one ever approaches me....
 
<<<<< my other passion, at Willow Springs Raceway, fastest racetrack in the western US, going through Turn 4a

I hope to get a dive avatar soon enough but first I have to get a camera and take pictures :D
 
I wanted an avatar that has movement and I found this one with moving fish so it seem appropriate it.

Some people change avatars so often that it is hard to know who is who. When I first got on SB I only recognized posters by the avatar. After a while I was thinking that there were an awful lot of "a" holes on SB until I realized it was the same few people posting all over the place. It took me a minute but I realized that some people would change their avatar depending on the controversy of the day. Now its ok since I have a good idea of who's who and the avatars don't matter. And I have since learned that not all of those folks were a holes either.
 
And mine is from an article about a tiger that dives.

He makes that face you see in order to close off his nostrils.

If you look carefully, you'll see a hunk of meat in the water in front of him.
 
1) Where the 68 in my userid comes from (yes that's me)
2) I'm trained in "stressful" situations
3) I like adventures
4) That you can forget most stereotypes associated with my daily lifestyle :)
 
My eyesight has gotten worse since that chains been put around my neck.
 
Mine says I like to make bubbles through PADI :) It also says that i'm the most fun buddy to dive with, with the goofyness of it and all. PearlDiver, i'm thinking your avatar should me mine! :rofl3:
 
Well - mine is just a picture of me in front of the dive shop in Cozumel, but my favorite avatar belongs to ItsBruce. I wish I'd thought of it. You don't have to explain it - picture says it all:

During the Christmas season I wear a Reindeer mask and horns when I dive so I have that up for my Avatar during that time.

My "normal" avatar pic was taken at the first SB Invade The Rock. I had just started a HH thread where the first post said.. "the future is so bright we gotta wear shades". Many of the posters were using photos of themselves in sunnies. I promised under protest to have one of me taken for my avatar.

What do I hope it says about me? I am friendly, like to have fun and especially that I have a tendency to see the sunny side of life!
