wet notes???? what to write?

[AB8CD]

I just purchased a wrist slate. The fingers that hold the pencil were so tight that I broke the pencil getting it out the fist time. What do you guys use to write with? The graphite pencil on mine appears to be enclosed in some heat shrink material. I like the soft nature of the "lead", but it seems a plain old #2 wooden pencil would be stronger and less likely to break.

Head on over to your local craft store... I went to Hobby Lobby... and look in the art supply section for solid graphite pencils. They are solid graphite with a plastic coating so they can be used on an angle for shading, etc. I cut mine in half and then have two. I have a piece of surgical tubing slid onto the end and zip tied to a snap for storage of my arrows.

What to write on wet notes, eh?? Weelll, may I offer some modest suggestions:

1 - The complete screen play to the next great cavediving movie.
2 - Letters to state officials concerning park closures.
3 - Limericks, such as:
There was a cave diver named Paul
Who was so cold it shriveled his balls
His buddy as well, was in deco hell
Cause he had no pee valve at all.
4 - Sketch a checkerboard on the inside of the back cover, leave some nuts and washers at deco.
5 - Second order differential equations and proofs.
6 - Secret masonic symbols to be used in the next National Treasure movie.
7 - Disparaging remarks about the other divers you have seen

While I could go on, these should give you an idea of where to start.

A very experienced instructor I know logs his dives into his wetnotes while in deco. Gives him something to do, and he still has stuff like turning points/pressures, etc. fresh in his mind.

That's actually a very smart thing to do, and I'll try to get into the same habit.

I'd have whole pages full of "2400"...

when I'm older and can't remember things for a few hours, I'll probably start logging dives during the dive as well

I go through wetnotes monthly.. at least.. the last time I used them was just a few days ago, to suggest something to a dive buddy...

Jon,

TJ was suggesting that Nathalie (the camera person) let me get a picture of her while her camera was out... Not sure about or remember what the 'cave instructors'... at the bottom meant.
