How many can even accurately record/remember a dive's start and end times and tank pressures when "interesting" stuff is happening on entry and exit? I know I've always had trouble with that.
Memory is one of those cognitive functions affected by narcosis. Honestly, I think that even on shallow dives neuronal communication in the CNS is disrupted somewhat.
For dives as deep as 80 fsw, I can easily remember everything. (Kind of like being able to recount every stroke after a round of golf. Pardon the golf analogy.)
For dives deeper than 110 fsw (without helium in breathing mix), my memory is not quite as sharp.

A dive slate or wetnotes work well for writing down stuff that you need/would like to remember.
Taking UW photos will time-stamp when you encounter marine life.
I would have to ascend to a whole new level of anal-retentiveness if I insisted on using my computer's bookmark functionality to mark every instance I encountered something interesting. Moreover, if one used too many bookmarks, it might be difficult to figure out which event was which. :idk:
 
I follow my SAC. I check when I set off alarms such as quick assent. I analyze my deco dives for when I entered deco, corresponding deco obligation, and how it was satisfied. I compare my profile to that I thought I dived...

Good diving, Craig
 
My favorite thing, as a relatively new diver, is to see how my SAC has been gradually continuously (on average) been decreasing over 10's of dives.
