I have no logbook for my dives from 1962 to 2000. I started logging in June of 2000 when I decided I wanted to do some international dive travel and that operators in my destinations would probably want to see my logged dives.

What are the benefits to logging dives? What is this information used for? Do the logs have to be signed/stamped by a dive shop to be considered legitimate? Any help with these questions would be great! Thanks!
I dove for more than 35 years without logging my dives but started in June of 2000 when I realized I'd be traveling internationally and a log may be necessary to verify I've actually done a certain number of dives and recently (since my c-card is from the 1960s). Once in the habit I kept it going and nowe have about 3,000 logged dives over that time period. Hopefully that will be enough to satisfy any dive operator I travel to dive with.
