logbooks

[bob wippin]

i have recently done some technical diving courses. but don't know how to log the dives. i know there are programs to set up logbooks on pc but want to keep it all neat in logbook files. The PADI log pages are not too well suited to putting in deco stop. the only other option i can see is getting an I.A.N.T.D techinical log book, which sounds to be just the thing, however i can't seem to get hold of one so was wondering what you guys can recommend

I use EnJay Marine's 200-page Diving Logbook to log my rebreather dives. Got mine from my LDS.

Bottom half of page is blank, top half has usual fields including deco stops, Gas Mix, Water Temp.

Some info on the loose leaf version at http://www.divernet.com/bubbling/0102bubbling.htm (half way down page)

I put depth/time/mix in the log on PADI pages and then dump the computer and make sure it's backed up for the profile.

I also record a lot of bumph about voltages/gas in/gas out/scruber hours that I care about for the rebreather but not in any specific format as it's irrelevant once I've changed a battery/filled a tank/scrubber etc.

I certainly don't record the profile other than the computer log. I don't think it is something I'd ever care about.

nah, big brother probably just got bored reading the same thing. You have four remaining posts, and three of them are adverts.

I gave up on logging dives in the traditional way some time ago. Now use the Suunto and download software and keep that as a log. Just print them out every now and again.

Mind you, two thoughts;

1) it is a very expensive log book
2) Mark (Chase) is very anal about recording dives, so I can always get back information on the ones I've forgotten about

Maybe my cunning plan is not so useful after all

Failing that, most people I know who still log dives use a hard backed exersise book as the PADI type logs are not very useful at all.
