Thanks, Lorenzoid. That's kind of what I figured I would hear.
Just based on what I hear and see. I'm not an instructor.

You may be thinking of the PADI requirements for a training dive: 20 minutes (or breath 50 cuft) and 15 feet.Seems like I have seen some role of thumb like 20 feet for 20 minutes.
Personally, I would not log swimming pool dives in my logbook. Seems like I have seen some role of thumb like 20 feet for 20 minutes. Of course, I will log my 2 hour dive at BHB with a max depth of 19 feet
Places like BHB are what drive this condundrum. I've done a handful of dives there, and my log entries are loaded with descriptions of all the cool things I saw, and maybe notes on how I weighted myself or otherwise geared up for such an unusual dive. I would even log a 20-minute dive at BHB in 15-20 feet of water, since there is information I want to record for my benefit. Now, I suppose if I were going to sign up for a course that required a prerequisite number of dives, I might not count that one as I leaf through my logbook to determine if I meet the prerequisite. It's hard to draw a line. I think all of us need to draw our own lines based on individual circumstances.
