That makes more sense... and sounds a lot less dangerous....
So... they will pull you up by your flag, eh? I wonder who would win that tug-of-war? It would almost be worth losing a flag to see someone pulling on one tied off to the pylon.:evil:

Too many people I know customize their flags for Identification. In this case I think it works against you.
My flag is as I bought it. I would have no prolem sacrificing it. I have others.
Same here... no identifiable marks whatsoever... got any spare rope?

I say log it all. In terms of depth and time and all that other stuff just log it too. If at some point in time you have to meet requirements for a DM in terms of depth and time you will have that logged.

OK, here's a related question. I went on two vacations before I was certified and did the DSD (Discover Scuba Diving) certification and then 3 open water dives each time. So, that's 6 open water dives. Do I add those to my log book, or do they not count because I was not yet fully certified?
Well, I know that for me, looking at all these other forum members with logged dives numbering in the thousands, it's very tempting to log ANYTHING that will help bump my dive total up from that bottom bracket of "0 - 24".
Unless I get a LOT of dives in next weekend at Himalaya Bay, though, I'm not going to bump into the next bracket for actual open water dives very soon. If things go well, we'll get a part day of diving on Friday, all day Saturday, and part day on Sunday before we have to head back.
As tempting as it is to add any pool dive into my "logged total", I'm more of a mind to only count the actual open water dives for that. I'm more interested in the fun to be had than in trying to impress anyone else with numbers (as if I thought most here would be impressed by "pool numbers" anyway).

I would add them if they met my other criteria for a logged dive (>20mins) and in open water. My log book's main purpose is to record my memories of dives so I would want to remember DSD dives too
They might not count towards dive totals for courses but your instructor can work out from your log which ones count and let you know. I don't worry about that part as I am unlikely to be struggling to meet a dive total for a course, given I like to do well over the minimum requirements before I start a course.
