Interpret "logged" colloquially. As in, for example, "Have you been logging a lot of hours at work?" I think an attempt to answer in good faith the question they are getting at--what is your dive experience?--absolves you.
Question on Form - How many logged dives since certified?

I personally stopped logging dives after 100. I do record all my dives digitally with my computer and it has a record of my diver number.
I think you are overthinking this. I'd put 500 and if they ask for proof then have the discussion.
You must know that no dive op really considers that number. They evaluate your gear, comfort in and out of the water and treat you according. You cant fake that comfort, you can fake a number.

I have been diving since 1994, and my first CZM dive trip was a couple of weeks after I was certified. I meticulously logged my dives on that trip and then I promptly lost the log book. I have not logged a dive since.
For me, dives are like rock concerts; I enjoy being there in the moment but after a dive I am done with it and ready to move on to the next one.

Damn. In the Midwest, you can’t get fills unless they know you’re certified (you’re a regular) or you show your card.
in florida? why am i not surprised.
could you imagine the sh*t show that would happen if someone died diving and it was found out that a dive shop gave gas to an uncertified diver?
i am betting it has happened somewhere.
Extreme Exposure in N. Florida never asked to see a stinkin' piece of plastic as far as I can recall, but they recently instituted a liability release that everyone getting a fill is required to complete (once a year, I was told). It's an impressive piece of work:

Personally I like it that way. I think it would be a pain to have to show my c-card every time I was getting a fill. If I’m bringing my own personal tank in to get it filled what I do with it is my business. Shouldn’t be the dive shops responsibility to make sure that I’m certified. But that’s just my opinion. I’m sure there’s all sorts of personal liability attorneys out there that would disagree.
