Updating my logbook, I realized I haven't the slightest clue what additional information would make sense to log for Tec dives... What do you write down?
What do you log for Tec dives?

Relevant information that would be useful later (e.g., same as with any dive). Depth, time, equipment, errors, malfunctions, conditions, physiological response to the plan, maybe even the plan if it's relevant and useful.
That is, if you log your dives...

Got it... have all that. CNS? OTU's? I've never come anywhere near a point where these matter in recreational diving, but much more likely here.
I try and put down some combination of the following: wreck name, what charter, the team, max depth, average depth (for the bottom portion), bottom time, run time, bottom temp, and what tanks, gasses and how much gas I used. I also include a notes about anything interesting that happened on the dive.
Sometimes if I forget to log the dive for a while I'll just have the wreck, charter and date.

Date, dive bro's name, location, max depth, avg depth, bottom time, deco time, total time, gases and number of stages of each used, # of scooters used, pertinent notes about the dive regarding conditions, accomplishments if any, and notable events during the course of the dive.
It's unlikely you'll come close to worrying about those for a while yet, but even then I wouldn't worry about it unless you have a plan where you are knowingly going to exceed limits (which happens eventually) or where you had some sort of adverse event that warrants noting. The point is to record things that help you learn your own physiological reaction to this type of diving. Anything else is just statistics.

Thanks, sounds like I'm on the right track...
It's nice watching my hours go up faster than my number of dives
