A dive log book is used by a scuba diver to record the details of dives they have done. This serves many purposes that are both safety focused and personal.

[edit] Elements of a Dive Log Book

Typical sections in a log book would be the following:

  • Header - Contains basic information about the date, time and location of the dive.
  • Profile - Records sufficient detail to show the profile of the dive.
  • Equipment - Shows what the diver was wearing and what dive gear was used during the dive.
  • Conditions - Allows the diver to record what the environment was like (both above and below water).
  • Comments - Used for any general information not covered in other sections.
  • Verification - used to record the signature and certification details of the buddy / instructor that was with the diver during the dive.
