I'm going to make an assumption here, but I am guessing that anyone who can afford (both in terms of extra weight and financial burden) to carry a spare pen or sheet of paper.Ughhhh... that's not so convenient when the pen runs out of ink and you have to lug the physical log or log pages around (and risk loosing or drenching). It's so much easier to Bluetooth all that stuff right to my iPhone immediately post dive. I can easily have a backup on the cloud as well. To each their own, but in in 2020 there great electronic options options (albeit at a cost)...
Does anyone actually have a Peregrine, yet?
I'm reasonably confident that we should be able to download from it.
If you do, could you contact me at Dirk at

I use Dive Log on my iPhone and Diving Log 6.0 on my desktop. They are not free, but they work great, are continually updated and have great support if you have issues - especially on the mobile App (Dive Log).I agree... I wish there were some dive logs that were as good... I kept having bug issues with Subsurface... I think the best I found so far is MacDive... (I normally use a PC, but have access to MacOS and use an iPhone).
I may give those a shot at some point. I already purchased the MacDive (iOS and Mac apps) and they seem rather good.I use Dive Log on my iPhone and Diving Log 6.0 on my desktop.

But then you wouldn't have Buhlman and SurGF.That's a good approach. Could also likely get by then with a $200 computer instead of a $450 computer... but the Shearwaters are nice.
I was talking more about the need to carry a pen and the physical logbook to begin with. Electronic logging is faster, more convenient and more secure (as backups on computers and the cloud can be seamless). When I come back from a trip I synch the iPhone log to my PC in less than a minute - I can also synch, backup or restore the log book on my iPhone from iCloud directly from my phone.I'm going to make an assumption here, but I am guessing that anyone who can afford (both in terms of extra weight and financial burden) to carry a spare pen or sheet of paper.
I'm not convinced by AI, but then I'm still sceptical about electric windows in my car. Witchcraft I tells yah!I was talking more about the need to carry a pen and the physical logbook to begin with.

Exactly. I really wish that was a thing when I first started diving. I started with the paper log books, but stopped logging for a while, as I really couldn't see me using it as paper logs aren't exactly searchable easily, and can get lost and destroyed.Electronic logging is faster, more convenient and more secure (as backups on computers and the cloud can be seamless).
