Stated:
First if all, a dive log is NOT mandatory for recreational diving, nor for activity of professional divemaster or instructors.
I think it is some sort of mandatory only for commercial diving.
Said that, I have seen the first form of a dive log in the manual accompanying my first Scubapro regulator, which I did buy in 1976. So I started to write there a log of my dives, instead of using a simple notebook, as I did use previously. You can see it here, starting on page 5:

Angelo.
It is always great to receive your response. It is recognized are separated by m any miles and years of diving
FYI
1) In 1967 The LA County UW instructors association (UIA) developed a Dive log which was required for the then very new and the worlds first and the worlds finest the three months lung never equaled Advanced Diver Program ,the LA Co ADP'
AA requirement of the LA Co ADP was to maintain a dive log which had previously been developed by the Senior Aquatics Director Mr. Tom Ebro.
The same year it became a requirement of the famed LA Co Underwater Instructor Association, Underwater Instruction Certification Course, the UICC .
So maintaining a dive log has been a requirement of LA Co since 1967
2) Dick Bonin, the cofounder of SCUBA Pro was a USN Officer in Frances Doug Fanes testing group . I am certain very extensive record we maintained of the testing.
When Dick separated from USN in 1956 he worked briefly in his hone town of Chicago prior to moving to SoCal
He was employed by Healthways for a short time until they went bankrupt and the company was dissolved .
Dick formed a partnership with one of your country men Gustaf De La Valle and acquired the rights to SCUBA Pro
The rest is history ..
I don't question your 1976 SCUBA Pro dive log, I suspect with dicks background he produced one
The questions are
a) was it a component of your regulator purchase ?
b) did you pay EXTRA for the dive log ?
c) can you provide a picture of the front cover of the log?
d) how many pages ?
f) how many line for dives ?
<<< FYI I have contacted SCUBA Pro HQ on the dive log -- so far I appeasers I should have contacted Disney land >>>
