SeaLogMigration guide
Move a paper logbook into your phone
Hundreds of dives, one waterproof notebook, and a growing suspicion that losing it would hurt. Paper does not export, so this one is honest manual work, and it is worth doing once.
Move your dives, step by step
Start with the dives that matter: your first, your deepest, your certifications, the trips you would hate to lose.
In SeaLog, tap the plus button and add a dive by hand. Date, site, depth and duration are enough to make it real, and you can go back later.
Photograph each page as you go and attach the photo to the dive, so the original handwriting survives even where you never fill in the fields.
Log new dives directly from your computer from now on, so the backlog never grows again.
Do not try to do all four hundred in one evening. Ten dives a sitting, oldest first, and it is done inside a month.
What survives the move
✅ Comes across
- Whatever you type, plus a photo of the original page
- Sites, which SeaLog can match to its own catalog of dive sites
- Species, which start building your life list from dive one
⚠️ Does not
- The stamps, which are worth keeping the paper book for
Whatever comes in can go back out: SeaLog exports the whole logbook to UDDF, CSV or PDF at any time. We would rather you could leave than have to trust us.
Questions
Should I throw the paper book away afterwards?
No. Keep it for the instructor stamps and signatures, which are the part a digital log cannot replace. The phone copy is the one that survives a flooded bag.
