Diver's Diary: The benefit of recording your dives

The diving diary is a document of your development, a treasure trove of memories, and a tool for improving your level at the same time.

What do you record on each dive

Basic data
Date, location, maximum depth, duration, water temperature and visibility condition.

Technical notes
Air consumption, lead used, and any ear adjustment or balance problems.

What I saw
Observed marine creatures, new sites and extraordinary sights.

Benefits of diaries

• Track your progress: depth today compared to depth 6 months ago
• Reference to lead settings for each site
• A document for the coach to evaluate your progress
• Priceless memories years later

Diary format

You can use a special paper notebook or a digital application. It is important to regularly register after each dive.

A diver who is registered learns twice as much as one who is not registered.
