Why do you log dives
If it is mearly to count dives then log away anytime you are underwater and breathing scuba.
Why do I log dives, to create a journal. I log dives that are interesting and unique. this is about 1/3 of the dives i have actualy done.
my thinking is that you wouldn't log every time you went to dinner, but you might log the times you enjoyed dinner with some great friends at a great restaraunt. so when you get old you can look back upon those days and remember
I use my log book to tell stories of diving to my kids at bed time.
think about what you are writing down and how it will be of use to you in the future. 20 years from now will it matter your time and depth, your weight, the weather...no
write down the friends you dove with, speak of the good times, the exciting things about the dive. tell the story of the remarkableness of the dive.....believe me many years later it will be hard to remember
here is a copy of a page from my log book circa 1980 when i was hunted by a tiger shark, the story is still there, our dive profile and what pressure group we ended up in don't realy matter 20 years later, but the story i still tell
