I still log dives and bottom time after 26 years. Creatures of habit.

Logs are for lumberjacks and building cabins with.
I stopped logging dives in 1990 when DM was obtained.
I think other people should log their dives.

Bad example.

one of the (few) things I did right was log my weight requirements for various configurations:
9 mm total neoprene, steel plate, AL 80, fresh water = 2 lbs
and so on
no need to reinvent the wheel

Was wondering how you averaged more than an hour a dive--figured lots of shallow dives. I only average a little over 30 mins. per dive.

IF I were young enough to keep up my current pace (70+ dives/year) for another 16 years (to make 26 yrs.) I'd only have about 1,300. I see you've averaged more than one 2-dive day per week for all those years.2,059 dives, 2,006:48 hours underwater.
Every dive gets an entry with only significant info in it if there is some. most times its only date location and how many dives were made. If i had to make any changes of any kind or did anything other than just cruising it is logged. Compass course. photo shoot. deep, penetration, notes about the location like shop is good or bad costs ect. You never know if you need something for a course you may be taking.

we still log all dives, especially bottom time and any special equipment stuff. We use a simple excel spreadsheet based printout that allows both of us to log our dive together on 1 page (2 columns of stats, 1 area for dive site info)
Being generally lazy, I value bottom time more than # of dives.
