Via <equipmentconfiguration> an equipment configuration can be "stored". Using the same configuration at different dives, it can be summarized with <equipmentconfiguration> — it's not necessary to input each piece every time. With a certain <dive>, inside <equipmentused> just a cross-referencing (<link/>) must be made to this configuration.
<equipmentconfiguration> must be the last element(s) inside <equipment>, because references on previous given pieces of equipment are made.
A <name>, and an <aliasname> for this configuration may be given. Additionally, via <notes> further information can be provided.
<aliasname>, <link/> (to be repeated for every piece of equipment to be cross-referenced: <boots>, <buoyancycontroldevice>, <camera>, <compass>, <divecomputer>, <fins>, <gloves>, <knife>, <lead>, <light>, <mask>, <rebreather>, <regulator>, <scooter>, <suit>, <tank>, <tankdata>, <variouspieces>, <videocamera>, <watch>), <name>, <notes>
