As many have said, you can log whatever you choose to log. But, to answer your specific question - for purposes of 'continuing education' - from a PADI perspective, here are some relevant items from the Instructor Manual definitions provided at the beginning of the 'Training Standards' section:
Logged dives: To credit a a logged dive for course requirements, the dive takes place in open water and specific information about the dive (date, time, depth, location, etc.) is recorded.
Open water dives: Open water is a body of water significantly larger than a swimming pool offering conditions typical of a natural body of water encountered by divers.
