wet notes???? what to write?

[adam0321]

so I just got my first set of wet notes and I am looking for ideas of some good info to put in them. I know they are for taking notes during a dive and to communicate. But what is some other good info to "jott" down so far I have
emergency contact info
blood type and allergies

and a bunch of deco tables in the back from 90'-115' from :30-:75 I figure anything outside of that I will plan the dive out and have that table seperate, Like the one for orange grove sink. these are basicaly "dead computer" deco tables. i guess some gas matching quick reference guides would be good?? any ideas?

You can always pre-draw some hangman contraptions to keep that deco time from being so agonizing :/

[adam0321]

But by "pre drawing " something isn't that counter productive and defeating the purpose of passing time?

I use it for logging during the dive, not before. I have used it before to note time and pressure at landmarks on the swim back during simulated bailouts or scooter failures. I've also used it to discuss changing of dive plans with my buddy during a dive. I find it nicer to use than the slate, probably because my pencil keeps breaking

By the way, for the tables, you could always print them out on waterproof paper and keep them in the wet notes all folded up.

Cheers,
Jeff

I do the same logging pressure before and after dives. Noting psi usage under work load and deco etc. Part of my log is a running SAC rate per that dive Converting used PSI to cu divided by time and ave dept.

My buddy and I usually use them at deco to discuss the moronic things we've seen on the dive... and we're usually tops on the list of conversation...

[adam0321]

All good advice. But I am looking for things to put in them as reference

[sea2summit]

If you need to reference it during a dive, other than tables, should you really have to write it down. Lost line step one...

Only neat thing I've seen was copies of cave maps and even those where just users to pass time during deco and facilitate passing notes back and forth between games of connect the dots or laughing at students laying line for the first time.

I have used my tables once when I had a computer failure and It'd say that's a must have (for the gas you're breathing).

[adam0321]

That kind of what I was thinking. But what about a pre dive check list? Or. Like I stated some gas matching cheat sheets for before the dive? Things like that

I keep a table of tank factors in mine, for easy gas matching. And I have stick maps for a lot of caves, with little notes passed along from people with experience in them. (I collected so many, I had to put a table of contents in )
