DIVER'S PERSONAL DIVE LOG
Although specific Navy Divers Personal Logbooks are no longer required, each
Navy trained diver is still required to maintain a record of his dives in accordance
with the OPNAVINST 3150.27 series. The best way for each diver to accomplish
this is to keep a copy of each Diving Log Form in a binder or folder. The Diving
Log Form was formerly called DD Form 2544, 3150, or 9940, but is now gener-
ated by the Diver Reporting System (DRS) software. The record may also be kept
on a personal floppy disk. These forms, when signed by the Diving Supervisor and
Diving Officer, are an acceptable record of dives that may be required to justify
special payments made to you as a diver and may help substantiate claims made
for diving-related illness or injury. If an individual desires a hard copy of the
dives, the diver’s command can generate a report using the DRS or by submitting
a written request to the Naval Safety Center.

DIVING MISHAP/CASUALTY REPORTING
Specific instructions for diving mishap, casualty, and hyperbaric treatment are
provided in Section A-6, OPNAVINST 5100.19 Series. The Judge Advocate
General (JAG) Manual provides instructions for investigation and reporting proce-
dures required in instances when the mishap may have occurred as a result of
procedural or personnel error. Diving equipment status reporting instructions
related to diving accidents/incidents are specified in this chapter.
