What's your avatar?

There are many interesting avatars out there, and I wonder how they originated.

My avatar is courtesy of SLundy. It's a beautiful photo, and also likely the last time I will have the privilege of diving at the Edmonds Oil Dock.

So, what is your avatar?

Bob Lew took this picture of me at Day Island Wall.

That wolf eel looks like he's laughing...I mean...smiling at you!

I think your next avatar should be "Baby Turbo" in his backplate and wing!

My avatar is something created by Joe Talavera, to combat the image that DIR divers are all arrogant snots. It got tons of laughs at Ginnie Springs; everybody there wanted to have one of the T-shirts with that logo.

Edge, that's an AWESOME looking picture/avatar. I love it.

Hopefully my avatar is self explanatory. Dive = fun.

My avatar on DiveMatrix where my NWDC vu meter won't fit without making it too small to read

Avatar I created in response to Georgia's thread about weird diving dreams. I had a dream I had anemone tentacles in place of hair. In the dream I was rock'n it and proud (which is funny if you know me. In real life I'm pretty conservative/introvert).

I'll spare you all the non-diving avatars I use[d] on other lesser boards.

Probably a bit of both.

This will probably be arranged sometime soon. He's been a little screamer lately but maybe we can finally get him into his new DSS back plate and in the dive simulator tomorrow.

Mine is basic - ly missing.

It's me in my invisibility suit.

My avatar photo was taken by John Rawlings on Browning Wall. It's one of my favorites. Others I have used generally coincide with my mood, or my attempt at influencing the moods of others.

Mine was taken by Bones (with my camera) on a dive we did in Lake Crescent a couple months ago ...

i change mine often but the current one is what the back of my truck usually looks like getting ready for a dive

Mine's a picture Penopolypants took of me on my birthday this year at EUP/BHUT. So much rock it takes 2 hands!

Sockmonkey · Post by **Sockmonkey** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 9:45 pm

I tend to use this self deprecating avatar... certified internet DIR diver about sums me up

I'm less UTD and more like UBP (Unified Board Poster)

That was an awesome dive!

Mine is a random pic found on another group I'm a member of, called wtf_nature. It makes me giggle. What else could I do?

Jeanna, I love the new avatar! Scott is quite the photographer! (Two of his photos won 1st and 2nd place at this year's photo contest for the UWS dive fair. Pretty cool.)

Ben, if you ever recycle icons, I loved the anemone one.

I thought you took that ... I saw Stumpy (the one-legged seagull) attempt to swallow a sea star once at Cove 2 ...

Nope, but I thought of that too when I saw this picture.

Mine is of me running Husum Falls on the White Salmon River. People always joke that i never paddle when on the river, so it is kinda fun to pretend I can get air off a rapid without even paddling. I remember the years I used to run this topless as part of our "HUSUM HUCK" event. To Huck is to literally "huck your meat" or in otherwords...throw. Those topless days ended when I accidentally ran Husum backwards. And then landed underwater. That sucked. Did I mention the WHite Salmon River is made up a glacial melt?!?! I no longer needed a bra after that event!

I don't believe you. I think you're lying.

Nope, uh ah, not going to believe you. A topless woman in a kayak? No way I believe that a woman would go topless in a kayak.

Spatman? NWBrewer? Pez? Fishstiq? Does anyone believe here?
