The obligation
The SRWA Regulation requires a dive safety log to be kept, and the code gives guidance on dive logs.
If a dive was done using dive tables, the log must also state each diver's repetitive dive group and, where applicable, the surface interval and repetitive factor (SRWA Regulation section 24). Additional gas details are required for dives using EANx or mixed gas (SRWA Regulation section 25). The code lists monitoring dive safety logs as an administrative control to minimise risk.
