Are you still logging your dives?

[Jamdiver]

Stop logging dives after my 50th dive. Up to 92 now...
Logbook ran out of space, if I get a new one i'll probably start logging again.

Issues like weight, vis and whatever else aren't that much of a concern here, since the conditions are pretty much the same year around and I always dive in the same setup..

When I took my basic course in 1970 nobody ever mentioned logging dives so I didn't. I only started about 10 years ago when my daughter got her cert. I have dived in many places around the world and it would be great to go back and read my comments from the early years. So I highly recommend keeping a good log and don't be sparing with your personal descripitions and comments about the site.

Just went diving yesterday with my club out from Sai Kung to a little outcrop near Rocky Beach. Could barely see my buddy at 18m and we both had 21W HID's! More interesting stuff in the 10M and shallower...

Hey Pak, that's a lot better viz than diving in Lake Travis

Oh yeah, I still log my dives and I do wonder at times when I should stop doing so.

I do for major trips mainly so i can refer to it when I write stories for magazines. I agree with sub zero that people should keep doing their logs and to try to do it in a more descriptive manner, or kind of like a diary. Then when it gets cold, rainy and or snowy, you can read your log and smile at the memories...

cold, rainy and/or snowy sounds like a great time to go diving rather than sitting around reading... viz should be good...

yes and i am very religious in doing so. i make it a point to do so everytime, havent missed a log yet. i guess i just got so used to doing it that old habits are hard to break. i also like the fact that i can look back at my logs and see what diving i have done or how i generally progressed as a diver.

I have logged every dive since getting certified in 1987.

I finally designed my own logbook and Zerox blank pages as needed.

log?
I look for them in the ocean, always a good opportunity for cool pelagics hanging underneath...

Cheeky bugger.

I run an excel log which just tells me location, time and date. This is Palau's record...

I then calculate the total, which is currently 1,107 as I haven't been diving all that much

I log them... I am still relatively new to diving (about 50 dives) so I am not fed up with logging my dives. Also, like somebody else said, it is a bit like doing a journal and helping you remember your previous dives. Even, when I am more experienced I think I will keep logging my dives, noting special things I saw, how well I liked the dives, etc...
