in those parts where I did German translations I tried to avoid the distinction using passive voice etc. When I did my first diving course in 1994, the instructor explained to us right at the start that divers address each other as „Du" (and I understand similar rules apply in the mountains above 1000m). So I would opt for Subsurface also addressing its users (if it cannot be avoided) by „Du“. Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, ich verbleibe fürderhin mit den freundlichsten Grüßen.
