Who is responsible for ensuring dive logs are accurate?

• A. The Client Representative
• B. The Diver
• C. The Stand-By Crew
• D. The Dive Supervisor

Answer: (D)

Accurate dive logs provide a trustworthy record of what happened during the operation, including times, depths, gas usage, decompression, equipment status, safety checks, and any issues. The Dive Supervisor has the overall responsibility for the dive operation and for the documentation, which includes ensuring the logs truly reflect what occurred. They review entries for consistency with the dive plan and safety procedures, address any discrepancies, and sign off as the authorized person certifying the record. While the diver may contribute data and the standby crew supports safety, the client representative oversees contractual aspects, the duty to ensure the log’s accuracy sits with the Dive Supervisor.
