Past a month and a half, we have been redesign­ing Div­ingList to improve reader expe­ri­ence based on the feed­back we’ve received from the read­ers and some experts we inter­acted. Next cou­ple of days, you may expe­ri­ence some ser­vice inter­rup­tions. Some of the excit­ing fea­tures we will be releas­ing are:

• Improved Design & Site Expe­ri­ence
  Users will be able to browse our site by cat­e­gory with­out search­ing. Search Fea­ture will remain on the site.
• Reader Com­ments
  Read­ers will be able to com­ment on the post. The com­ments will be open to any­one and acces­si­ble to all read­ers. Com­ments will be mod­er­ated to increase the integrity of our site, and com­ments pol­icy will be posted in our “About” sec­tion. No adver­tise­ment in the com­ment sec­tion will be accepted.
• Face­book Con­nect and Twit­ter
  You will be able to com­ment via your Face­book Account as well as Twit­ter account.
• Adver­tis­ing Option
  While Div­ingList remains the way it always has been, “Unbi­ased” place where divers of all lev­els includ­ing dive store own­ers, dive pro­fes­sion­als, and dive travel agents can obtain great deals, we will be offer­ing adver­tis­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties to expand the cir­cle. The details will be released by the end of 2009. For more infor­ma­tion, please con­tact adver­tise (at) divinglist.com. There is no obligation.

Dur­ing this roll-out, we con­tinue to push news and deals via Face­book Fan Page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/DIVINGLIST/113361582416) as well as Twit­ter (http://www.twitter.com/divinglist).

At this moment, there will be no change in RSS Feed. We will post infor­ma­tion if there is any changes.

If you have any ques­tions in regards to our (small) Facelift project, feel free to leave a wall post on our Face­book Fan page or @ reply us on Twit­ter. If you are an oper­a­tor in the div­ing indus­try and have red hot news, do e-mail us at tips (at) divinglist.com. Thank you for being our pre­cious reader!

Many Bub­bles,
