Dive log question for certification

[jbanks27]

There are certifications that require a minimum number of dives to certain depths and conditions. If you don't log your dives, you don't have any way of proving you meet the qualifications. There have been cases where dive operations want to see your log book to see when was the last time you were in the water. Some people only dive when they are on their vacation once a year.

I know that there is one certification that requires a minimum amount of bottom time. Not just dives.

I asked my instructor and he said they don't have to be signed to take the next course- just logged. The dives also don't have to be instructor led. This is for SSI though.

One of the better dive operations I have been on provided a simple computer printed document with the DM's computer info.

It contained operator's letter head, date, depth, location, bottom time, water temperature and name of the DM.

Wish they all did this.
