Hello fellow divers,
i have a question/poll for all of you, especially the more experienced, but opened to all.
Do you think that only open water dives should be logged or that some pool dives could be included.
personnaly, i have only logged open water dives including, lakes, sea, rivers, cenotes (caves), quarries, etc. But as a divemaster student and PADI divemaster afterwards, i did a lot of dives in pools during scuba classes. Logging those dives never crossed my mind until a fellow divemaster said to me he did this at multiple occasions. His opinion was that you log everytime you breathe compressed air. Of course, i myself take notes of these activities (diving classes) but not in my logbook and i dont count them as actual dives.
What is your opinion?
p.s., I personnaly think a logbook is a personnal thing and that people can write whatever they want in it but i wonder what is considered the usual practice by a lot of divers of different agencies
