After 50th dive, new logbook needed

[freedc]

Just completed dive #50 and filled up the log book that came with my PADI OW course. I think I like paper logs, so what's the best thing to use for a new logbook? My computer doesn't store much info beyond max depth, min temp, and times. I like to keep track of who I dove with and what I saw, maybe gas consumption.

Suggestions?

(also, feel free to congratulate me. Seems like it took forever to reach this point ).

Can you just add pages to your paper log book? Mine is a spiral type so I can add more pages as desired.

Congrats!. I'm not there yet, but hope to be soon. I looked around a lot for a binder and logbook and really like this one: Binderz

Get complements on it and it holds EVERYTHING I need from C-cards to fill cards.

Edit: Amazon has a factory second binder like the above on sale right now.

I use the green pages spiral "Trident" brand, I think. If your PADI shop has none they probably can order them. Then you can order more, or just Xerox them to save $ I guess.

I use a 5x8 journal that has about 200 pages. I usually record one dive every page.

I download my computer (as you do) but post my dives on an electronic dive log on my web site. The benefit? If I forget my log book on a trip, I can point the dive center to my on-line log book and verify my number of dives, etc. I log my buddy and my gear configuration, but rely on my video footage to document critter sightings.

I use PADI Logbook refill pages in the PADI Binder. I also keep my C-cards and slates in the binder.

I just use more PADI logbooks. Widely avail on eBay.

I use a 3x4" diary-type book with lined pages. About 100 pages and I record 2-5 dives/page, depending on what happened, what was seen, etc.
