The equipment configuration used for a dive is completely specified inside <equipmentused>. Allowed are only these cross-referencing elements which parts have been listed inside the <equipment> section for the <owner>.
Because the amount of lead carried during the various dives often (or at least sometimes) changes, and on a dive safari normally lead from the dive base is used, for the sake of simplicity <leadquantity> is allowed here also (without "<lead> declaration detour").
<leadquantity>, <link/> (to be cross-referenced for every piece of equipment <boots>, <buoyancycontroldevice>, <camera>, <compass>, <divecomputer>, <equipmentconfiguration>, <fins>, <gloves>, <knife>, <lead>, <light>, <mask>, <rebreather>, <regulator>, <scooter>, <suit>, <tank>, <tankdata>, <variouspieces>, <videocamera>, <watch> to be cross-referenced)
