I've been told 20 minutes underwater or 50 cubic feet of consumed air is a dive.

To add more to this question ... This is something I am curious about. I'm ot sure if this question deserves its on thread.
I have been logging all my dives with details such as depth, time, location, buddy, charter info, divemaster name, the usual stuff, etc but I usually never have anybody sign my book unless I get the chance. Basically half of my dives are "logged" with lots of details but not signed off by a buddy or divemaster even know I could probably track down most of the people I dove with if I wanted to. My question is, if I plan on continuing my certifications to divemaster will they hold this against me? Can I still go for the divemaster or even an instructor if the dives in my log book aren't technically signed off on?

I believe to count as a dive for certification purposes, the dive has to be deeper than 20 feet and longer than 20 minutes.
Anytime I enter the water, I log the dive, because I want to remember what happened, but as to number of logged dives, not every dip in the water counts.

It's YOUR logbook, write down what's useful for YOU.[/QUOTE]
This is my thought also. I log every dive and write a summary of each dive. I'm always suprised at how often I look back for some piece of information.
