How religious are you keeping your dive log?

[bversteegh]

I keep a directory on my laptop for each dive, with dive site name, location, date, and all my pictures from the dive. I shoot a picture of the dive briefing if the divemaster drew one. I also download the logfile from my computer. But I haven't kept a handwritten logbook for years. What does everyone else do?

I still keep my handwritten logbook. I usually take it with me on the boat and fill it in during surface intervals. I've got an SSI logbook with the little tabs and I have to get the next lot of tabs - 51 to 100 - before I go on my next trip. I imagine those tabs will last me a while and then after that I might resort to something else (the book will be full!).

I keep a hand written log but I have gotten lazy with the info. Most of my dives are from shore at low depts so i have not been filling in the charts.

Basically keep track of locations and any thing of interest I saw.

I'm pretty good about the written log, but since I dive with a computer, I don't do the RDP values any more. I downloaded and printed the pages I use, and there's no place for the PG anyway. I've gotten alot better about it since I decided I want to be a Master SCUBA Diver (don't laugh, it's a goal), and I have to show 50 logged dives.

I also keep a handwritten log. Write the basic info, place, date, stuff to see, etc. Maybe one day, I'll change for an electronic version, but for now it's just fine for me.

just log it regularly, and since most dives are 15-45 feet, i seldom ever fill the chart at the bottom...

I have a paper log which is updated after each dive day (often between dives). I have had people make fun of me because of that.

I use to keep a copy of my log on DiveRecord.com but when I changed computers the mass upload spreadsheet didn't work anymore and I was unable to find a way to contact them so now it is just paper only.

Since we travel to dive, I really enjoy filling out our log book at the end of a wonderful day of diving. It helps me keep the dives straight in my head and I like to jot down what we saw (briefly), especially if it's a "first"....like the hammerhead at the last dive site on our last day of our last trip.

I have about 3 or 4 dives that I have no info for. I thought, "I can remember that.".... oops. I know have a computer and I've recorded my last 7 dives on it. So, I'll have that and when I get home, I'll record it in my log book too.

I have the bad habit of just logging the dive info and not the personal details about the dive. I current have about 8 dives this way and I don't remember what I did on those dives. I need to get better about it since I am trying to head towards the tech side.
