Which item is NOT typically recorded on smooth logs?

• A. Date
• B. Depth
• C. Repet group
• D. Weather forecast for next day

Answer: (D)

Dive logs focus on documenting what happened during the dive and information that affects future planning. Date and depth are fundamental because they anchor the dive in time and define the dive’s depth profile, which is essential for tracking exposure and planning no-decompression limits. The repetitive group is also recorded because it comes from the surface interval and directly influences remaining no-decompression limits for subsequent dives.

The weather forecast for the next day, while useful for planning, isn’t part of the dive event itself. It doesn’t describe what occurred on that dive or provide data needed to assess decompression status or future dive planning. So it isn’t typically logged.
