What this sheet is for
Keep your own record of dives made, in a layout that holds the detail an instructor or operator will ask about, including weight and conditions.
Who it is for
Recreational divers building experience, club divers, and anyone whose logbook is full or lost.
How to use it
- Fill it in on the boat or at the surface, not that evening.
- Record your weight and suit every time — it is the entry you will most often go back to when conditions change.
- Note what the computer said as well as what you planned.
- Get dives verified where your club or agency expects it.
What is on the sheet

Page 1
Printed under the title: A dive per block — site, depth, time, gas, weight and conditions — signed off and kept as your own record of experience.
A record, never a plan. This is a record of dives you have made. It contains no dive tables, no depth or time limits, no ascent rates and no surface intervals, and it must not be used to plan a dive. Plan with your computer or tables, your training and your buddy. If anything here conflicts with your agency's own log requirements, theirs is the one that counts.

Questions
Can I use this to plan a dive?
No. There are no tables, limits, ascent rates or surface intervals printed anywhere on this sheet, deliberately. Dives are planned with your computer or tables, your training and your buddy. This records the dive after it happened.
Will my agency accept it?
That is for them to say. Agencies and clubs set their own requirements for logged and verified dives, and some require their own book. If theirs conflicts with this, theirs is the one that counts.

Keep an inventory of the safety gear aboard with the date each item expires, so the out-of-date ones are found at the dock rather than at sea.
