Hi, you don't have to have a certain number of dives logged before you start advanced open water. For dive logs, we'll I'm a "millenial" but I still prefer paper, beacyse I don't have a desktop computer. I don't use computers anymore I use tablets.. Etc... But if you want to log your dives on a desktop computer there are dive computers that you can upload your dive logs from onto your computer.

Being a member of Generation-Y, I prefer everything that is paperless/contactless and as such would love to keep my dives logged online from day one (which ScubaEarth appears to offer).
My question is when more advanced courses have a minimum requirement of dives, where is the credibility to logging online dives that a buddy/instructor cannot endorse? Am I better to solely keep a paper logbook of all my dives, or alongside an electronic one?
Thanks for any insight - sods law is I will get back from work and the postman has delivered my paper logbook with all of this explained.[/QUOTE]
