Our dive log paperwork went from 3 pages to half a page after a toolbox talk in Morgan City
Back in March our dive crew in Morgan City was drowning in paper after every job. The supervisor wanted depth, bottom time, deco stops, gear check, all of it written out long form, and we were losing 30 minutes at the dock every shift just filling it in. One of the older tenders showed us how he had been logging his dives in a simple grid on one sheet for 15 years, and it had all the same info the client needed. We switched over that week and cut our paperwork time down to about 8 minutes a shift. Has anyone else had a supervisor push back on shortening dive logs, and how did you prove the shorter version still covered you?

Did the client actually sign off on the short grid version, or was that the part the supervisor worried about? If the client accepted it, that's your ammo. I'd pull a few old long form logs and the matching grid entries side by side, same dive, same numbers, and show him nothing was lost. Once he sees the deco stops and gear checks are all still there, the pushback usually dies.
