Scroll down, make sure the "Include in BuddyMatrix (ScubaBoard's Buddy Finder)?" dropdown is set to "Yes", make a selection in "Methods" and "Interests", enter your US zip code or latitude and longitude. Remember to hit "Save changes" when you're done. :wink:
 
I thought i'd give it a day to see if it took longer to update but I have did all that you have said yet i'm still not listed on the buddy finder. Is there something else that was not mentioned?
 
I can't find myself just by zooming the map, I have to be specific and do a search by latitude and longitude (since I'm not in the US). Try searcing for me (58/8), and you should find me in the town of Arendal in the south-eastern part of Norway.
 
Oh, and increase the distance to 50 miles. :wink:
 
I was able to find you and as for me, it kinda and kinda didn't work.....

When I searched for my zip code, nothing comes up. I then put my gps coordinates into my profile. If I searched them, it will pop up.

Maybe theres something wrong with the zip codes?

So, you wanna go diving?

Strange... This might be a case for the US Postal Inspection Service, one of your oldest federal law enforcement agencies, founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1737. :D
