Hey seadoggirl, that sounds like an interesting program. What is it called and where did you get it?

do you log "solo" dives in your log book?

A dive is a dive, if you have a buddy or alone. I always log my solo dives, its an important record of your dive. Under signature I just put Solo.
And he has the Sharks Teeth to prove it. Some are still attached to the shark.Walter:

I don't log my solo dives - the scuba police could read my log book and arrest me....
Walter:
Yes but if they aren't signed by a notory or your mother, how do we know that you really did them.
seadoggirl:
Even if you did them, for all we know they may not have been below 15 ft.

My computer logs it all then I just print it occasionally. I don't pay much attn to who's along with me. My paper log got wet and stuck together, Im just glad I didnt have any outstanding courses to try to prove dives for. If anyone ever asks Ill show them the remnants I guess.
Would you log a 13' dive for 3 minutes?

If my solo dive was a dive I'll log it, but for example last weekend my computer logged a dive I did, except it wasn't really a dive.
A wetsuit diver asked me about the feet first ascent and if classes were really needed for drysuits. I dropped down to 7 feet and added air to the drysuit until my feet started up. I explained before what would happen and what to look for, how we recover from it, the demo took less than a minute and the computer logged it as a dive. My buddy was on the shore watching so I was solo, but I don't really count it as a dive in my paper log. In the electronic downloaded log I explained it so I'd know for future reference why my computer logged a dive of 7 feet for 0 minutes.
So, not all my dives are logged even if the computer called it a dive because IMO not all things are dives.

Solo or not I regret not logging my dives over the past 15 years. Just one of those things that got away from me. I just didnt see the purpose. I did it to move forward to the next crts and that was all.
The other day though, a friend of mine of 20 years showed me his log book. I was looking through it amazed at the details he kept. The thing was, we had had gone to many countrys together and had done many many dives together. As i was reading it had reminded me of times that I had forgotten about, hell even places and the girlfriend at the time!!! What a shame.
For no other reason than just the lost memories.....solo or not I am going to pick up the habit and do it. Not for anyone else........just me. Notary or not
