I logged dives at first because I had to for my 100 post full cave dives.

Now, I log to keep records to share with friends who want site info, share with family, or so I don't forget what I find.
 
I have a downloadable gauge which I hook up every once in a while.
 
I use Reefnet's Sensus Ultra because I'm a data geek.
 
I keep paper, PC, and dive computer logs, plus I export individual data points to excel for SAC rate analysis among other things.

When I used to live in the tropics I didn't log any dives. When I moved to Canada I had no documentation whatsoever related to my experience. So I had to start through the formal channels as if I was a total newbie, which is not really a bad thing in itself given the differences between tropical and cold water diving. I started logging dives religiously since then. It's helped me out when I've visited places like Gilboa and the FL keys. Operators are not compelled to put in a whole lot of restrictions on me so that I don't kill myself while diving with them.
 
Tech dives are the only dives that I log unless there is info that I want to record. It is usually paper.
