I think that was very unprofessional and immature.There is another post asking whether people use their log books/why log dives, but my question is - do you mock people who enjoy keeping a log book?
I recently completed my OW course with PADI and through the course the instructor never once referred to my log book with me. It was only at the end when he was signing the mandatory pages he was surprised I had filled in details for the dives. I did not know some of the answers such as visibility, temperature, so I asked him for these and he seemed surprised I wanted to bother logging this.
I think it's neat to log all of your dives from a personal and experience point of view. My boyfriend on the other hand thinks I'm being "lame"!
I'm signing up to a dry suit course and now I'm going to feel embarrassed getting out my log book in front of the instructor and asking for their input on temperatures/visibility - should I be?
you should never be embarrassed for adding details to your log. Add all the details you want, including exposure suit, weights, new gear used, what fish you saw, how you felt, any problems you had and who you dived with. Add little smiley faces and stars if you feel like it and be proud of it!
