Logging. Do you?

[WreckWriter]

Since I need to make a research trip to Key Largo soon for my new book I decided to transfer all the dives I had logged on paper into Subsurface. 565 dives later I find myself regretting all the times I didn't bother logging my dives. I would guess somewhere around 500-700 not logged. Just going through and entering the dives I did log brought back so many memories, mostly good ones.

Garmin logs my dives for me. Easy and simple, all the basic info is automatically there. I just add some details and gear used by hand. Every now and then I enter dives to PADI online logbook to keep it up to date as well. That way I'm not vendor locked if I change dive computer brand some day, or either PADI or Garmin screws up their system or shuts it down like every online service eventually will.

I've logged since Day One almost 16 years ago. Just logged Dive 796. I use paper logs.

I built an Excel spreadsheet many years ago and now have over 3200 dives in it. Some dives are also on paper, or Oceanic DiveLog, or Subsurface, or Shearwater, but they are ALL in the spreadsheet.

I have paper proof of all my logs with the exception one missing book which count for about 25 dives. I use custom pages I designed. 1630 logged dives

I try to make a written log entry for every single dive. I don't get all of them, but most. Looking back on the notes is useful and fun. Every once in a while I import computer data too.

Logged every single one from day 1.
Used to spend stupid money to buy those fancy log book in the beginning but the simple student exercise book is the best. A pile of over 30 of them with my treasured memory.

No

I've logged 2813 dives on paper since 1989. Force of habit.

I have my latest 100 or so dives on my Perdix in case someone needs to see them. I try not to quantify my life.
