Lost dive logs after Orange Grove

[Scubaru]

Bumping a really old thread with a question. Recently, my home flooded. I lost 90% of everything I owned, including my dive log book. As a diver who's transitioning from AOW to Cave, what would you do if you lost all of your proof of dive records?

Sorry for your loss. When you are cavern student you are the instructor's tabula rasa, and they will teach you a new skill set and gear configuration. Speak with the instructor you chose, I am betting this will be less of a problem than you think.

Instructor wise, I know that to be the case, ONLY because he got to see it before it was lost. I took nitrox and sidemount with him already. I'm more upset that I don't have the documented memories (still have the actual memories at this point in life) of the last 14 years. I'm tempted to at least log what I remember of them but will have to place a large asterisk by them as "actual depth, tank readings, visibility, date, dive table class, etc unknown". It wasn't many dives by you guys standards, but again, sucks to lose what I had.

All my dives are in 3 part logs. I have a log book, download from my computer to desktop and laptop, and a back up on My Passport Hard Drive. I have crashes but never lost my dives. Fortunately I have not had a flood.
Sorry for your loss but I am sure it has taught you to back up your records.
