For those who keep logs, what do you record -- beyond the obvious things, such as date, depth, time and so on?
When I started, I thought about recording problems I'd had, but I didn't want it to turn into a book of woe (my first 10-15 dives were mostly about having problems). Now that things are going better, I make a note of anything that went horribly wrong -- concentrating on why, and what I'm going to do differently next time.
Likewise, when I started, there was space for the names of all the fish I recognised (about three). Now I stick to the highlights. I'm also trying to make notes about the general environment, but I find that harder.
