Yep, pencils are cheap and expendable but one of the aggravation of diving is the broken lead just when you are about to jot down something you won't remember later. Sharpening them underwater with a knife is sometimes frustrating (Iusually break the lead several times). This is not a total solution but helps: By sharpening the pencil with a very steep angle there is more wood to suport the lead (simple huh?).
