Please use the poll to choose your experiences with logbooks. Please choose what most applies to you... and feel free to post if there's any other experiences. I'm interested to see what the majority says.
 
How about -

I keep a log only because my UWATEC dive computer does it for me, otherwise I probably wouldn't keep one myself.
 
I keep a log but it is never checked locally.

Certs and logs have however been checked on every trip I´ve made to Egypt. In the red sea you don´t get to do "advanced dives" without an advanced cert. I think it´s nice to see people actually enforcing standards, specially when someone getting bent on a liveaboard means that the trip is over for everyone (I´ve been there 4 times with different ops and experienced the same thing)...

It is "often" checked in other foreign countries, it´s even happend in florida but maybe that´s just because I´m a foreigner...

I kinda like that they check certs and logs, gives me (a little) bigger confidence in the other divers on the boat...
 
Log Book? I think I kept an almost complete one in the late 70s...maybe a little less complete for part of the 80s...
 
I keep a log book for my benefit. It has never been checked and the computer will do the job for me but when I look back at it I get to remember every dive and the good time I had. I know a bit cheesy yet true.
 
I've never had mine checked for a recreational dive, but it is checked monthly for work.
 
Sweet you have a gig that checks your log book! One of these days I will get out of this 9 to 5 gig and go scuba for a living. Of course I will probably be old and no longer able to dive by then but I have a dream!
