logging dive

I did my first open water dive in a wetsuit (home-made!) in February 1965. I used to log my dives assiduously but my logbooks (in my briefcase) were stolen from my car in 1971 when I had over 700 dives logged. After that, I rarely bothered to log any dives for many years. These days, I only tend to record those of particular interest, mainly overseas dives with pretty logbook stamps.
What records I have from the early days, I don't like to look at very often. Too many make scary reading - like 40+ M with a single cylinder of roughly 9.5l in today's terms, the Markgraf on a single 9l etc. By the time I was doing 60m (on air!) I had moved on to a twinset, manifolded, single valve, no AAS. Diving like that would be considered almost suicidal these days. That was all we had at the time and we regularly did things like that. What was surprising was that I can't recall me or any of my buddies having a serious incident. There but for the grace of God...Comment
