Individual Diver Log or Project Dive Log

If a project uses more than two people on a dive, this log provides the tender/divemaster/lead diver with one log which may be completed as the dive progresses and subsequently submitted by the fifth of the following  month to insure that all dives are logged and each diver is accurately represented. Note that there is a place for each diver and the diver master to sign/initial. This may be sent by mail, or by fax. Personal logs such may also be used. However, for simplicity of completion the project log permits one person to complete the log, copy it for personal/project files, and submit it to the DSSP. Please add the Project Number to the log.
