What’s your system to write down notes across multiple dives?
Example: you dive a cave repeatedly, so you might collate:
Similar thing for wrecks - especially when deeper, you might see only small part of it.
I use a paper dive log + Shearwater app (so 1 site : 1 dive : 1 entry) but I would like to move to a system that’s more site oriented rather than dive oriented. Not necessarily a dive-specific tool and don’t care about computer integration.
Tablet + hand drawings? Pen and paper? Something sophisticated like a personal wiki?

- Prep and research before trip - entrances, risks, …
- Existing maps which might be old, incomplete, lack detail
- Picture of entrance(s) and notes where to park, which route to use to carry gear and so on
- Multiple dive profiles, notes about flow, weather etc
- Your own map and notes (“so many minutes to a specific T”, the way things looked like in a cave - ongoing work across multiple dives
