 NOTE:This is VERY old. I am in the process of a major update of this. Please ignore. It was written before I became a PADI instructor, and a lot has changed since...

This constitutes my dive log for 1981 thru 2004. Original dive log book was lost during a move, and most dives were not logged after that. This is a re-creation of those dives to the best of my memory, erring on the side of conservitive.
