 Looking for a large scuba-diving log

I am looking for a LARGE scuba-diving log. I have some water damage and I am at about 380 dives since I started decades ago. I know, I know, the computer will log them I can print them out, etc. However, I have an AI Atmos dive computer and never bought the cable that came with it to log the dives. I am not saying I am not willing to learn, but my computer is over 8 years old and think it will become a backup computer in the next two years.

I just purchased a MK 17 reg with A700 because my 14-year old MK 25 is making a noise like I am torturing a small animal when I exceed 3ATM. It has been serviced and all of that, but it is old. Both things have done right by me and I like to manually calculate the dives as well.

The traditional dive log books that I get from PADI seem to hold about 70 dives. I am looking for something, other than the filler pages, that I can log more than one dive on a single page and with over 100 pages.

Back when I actually kept a print dive log I found a computer program (Print utility) that reduced the pages from "Giant Stride" which is my computer dive log (Written for Windows 95 and no longer available). It allowed me to print two entries on each page. You could also add a watermark so if I was on a trip I could use the resorts or liveaboards logo as the background.

By using both sides that would be four dives per page but I tended to print a photo from one of the dives on the facing page or a dive map so I really wasn’t saving pages, just making it more of a book.

You could do the same if you are good with a spread sheet program.

I will probably try that. I am going digitized with my next computer. My current one could do it, but I would have to buy the cable and it is already 8-years old. I plan on making it my redundancy computer when I get an air-integrated wrist computer.

I created my own, 3 dives on one side of each page that fits in my old work Franklin Day Planner. Used MS which was little cumbersome but worked.
