HEAR YE! HEAR YE! By order of ClayJar, it is hereby decreed that each and every non-pool dive on which compressed gases are breathed must henceforth be logged. For a dive aborted prematurely due to conditions such as, but not limited to, blatant gear misconfiguration (eg. forgotten weight belt), the initial aborted dive and a subsequent continuation of the aborted dive may be combined and reported as a single dive, provided the dive is continued within the same calendar day (in the dive's local time zone) or the subsequent four hours, whichever is longer. For any dive with a depth of less than 15' or a duration of less than 15 minutes, the dive shall be numbered in sequence, with the sequence number being annotated by an asterisk (*), thereby indicating that any logbook-inspecting party may, at their behest, discount such a dive (as "provisional") when considering the diver's total number of logged dives. The diver is under no obligation to keep a running total of the number of such provisional dives.
