If you have a computer that downloads to PC, do you still write down your dives?
Do you log your dives on paper?

Serambin, any poll you can come up with, fisherdvm has already posted!! Just joking, of course.
I keep all dives on my Palm and then transfer them to the PC so I have two digital copies. If needed, like when i had to furnish a log book for my MD class, i just print them out.

No, I don't see the reason really.
My Stinger has the last five years.
I think it is ideal to do it, but tax records and baby books get on the radar first.....so many other records are more important and where you put your time and effort hopefully reflects your life priorities.
Honestly, I cannot see the day where documenting my dives in something as time consuming as a hand written log will ever happen.

But your stinger doesn't have any info about things like surface conditions, currents, tides, what critters were around in different conditions, etc. It probably also doesn't have the name of a divesite. Sometimes I won't get around to looking at photos for a couple months, and then for one reason or another, I want to figure out where they were taken.catherine96821:
It's for these sort of reasons I jot down some notes. Not exactly a real, formal log, but more like a bunch of notes about cool stuff.

I do both log them in my divebook and download to my computer. Maybe one of the poll questions should include both?

If I were an organized person, it would actually be in a logbook, rather than being a bunch of various sized pieces of paper inside of a ziplock bag.catherine96821:
Kind of like my filing system for tax-related items. Stuff it all inside a ziplok bag until needed. Oh. D*mn. That's now! The deadline for filing an extension is only a couple of weeks away.
