My Dive Logs Sign in

Setting up is a dive.

Every screen you'll meet the first time you open the app, in order, from the surface to a hundred and forty feet. These are real screenshots, not drawings.

  1. You're at the surface. — screen 1 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup

    You're at the surface.

    Setting up a logbook is itself a dive. Eight stages, each a little deeper, and the app carries you back up at the end. The gauge top-right tracks how far down you are.

  2. What should we call you? — screen 2 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup

    What should we call you?

    The name that goes on the logbook and on every dive you sign. Nothing else on this screen — one question at a time is the whole idea.

  3. Your logbook, on the web too — screen 3 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup

    Your logbook, on the web too

    Where an account comes in: it syncs the logbook and keeps it backed up off the phone. Divers who already have one sign in here instead.

  4. Who certified you? — screen 4 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup
    49 ft

    Who certified you?

    PADI, NAUI, SSI, BSAC, GUE and the rest — or type your own if the agency isn't listed. Whatever's on your card.

  5. How deep does your training go? — screen 5 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup
    69 ft

    How deep does your training go?

    Your highest qualification with that agency, from Open Water up to Instructor. It's what the certification card in the app ends up showing.

  6. Your card — screen 6 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup
    89 ft

    Your card

    The number printed on it. This is the thing a dive shop actually asks for, which is why the app can show the card full-screen later.

  7. Who do we call? — screen 7 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup
    105 ft

    Who do we call?

    Kept on the profile so a boat or a chamber can reach someone quickly. It's also what Dive Mode puts on the lock screen while you're in the water.

  8. Do you dive nitrox? — screen 8 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup
    121 ft

    Do you dive nitrox?

    Answering yes unlocks mix tracking, MOD warnings and equivalent air depth on every logged dive. Answering no simply skips all of it.

  9. Feet or meters? — screen 9 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup
    131 ft

    Feet or meters?

    Everything is stored in metric underneath, so this is a display choice you can flip whenever you like without touching a single dive.

  10. You're at the bottom. — screen 10 of 10 of the MyDiveLogs setup
    144 ft

    You're at the bottom.

    Check your gauges, make your safety stop, and surface into an empty logbook ready for its first dive.

That's the whole of it.

Two or three minutes, once. After that the app opens on your logbook and never asks again.
