What do you want in an "online" dive log?

[Waterskier1]

James,

I'm stiiting in the airport in Houston waiting for my red-eye to Bonaire.
A couple years ago I worked with"Tim" on a computer resident dive log.
He was able to import several dive computer logs into his program.
I have Mares computers and he was able to import that format too.
In order to calculate a meaningful SAC rate, or N2 loading, you need to consider more than just a square profile. I believe Tim's software allows for three level (or depths) on each dive. I didn't find this uuseful for the typical Blue Hole "decend to the bottom & spiral up" type of dive though.
You might want to check out what he has done, and maybe leverage some from his work.
I saw he has updated his program but I haven't checked out his latest revision.
You can find more by searching the DIY forum for "Tim's Dive Log"
I would provide links, but I'm writing this on my phone.

The greatest asset an online dive log to me would be public sharing!
Say I headed for Santa Fe , I search BH in April and look at others dive profiles
Depth, time, temp, if everyone is stopping at 23’ on decent is there something to see?
If we share our dive profiles as well as our stories all will be blessed.

Ps. Anyone with SOL share maps?

This is a really good idea! Being able to share dive locations, conditions and catagorize type of dive, skill levels, etc... would pull many divers to the site.

However, the shared data would have to be carefully selected. Some may not want to share names or other details that lead to harsh internet judgement.

BTW Blue Hole is in Santa Rosa, not Santa Fe.
