optional, multiple

—

<rating> puts into brackets a more or less personal rating of the quality of a dive spot, a dive, a dive base etc. (see parent elements). This concerns the general conditions found at this spot. For dive bases, spots etc. can be visited and therefore rated several times, the <rating> element may appear as often as needed.

The rating itself consists of the <ratingvalue> (if <rating> appears, a <ratingvalue> element must be given, too), and the timestamp (<datetime>). The latter one may be omitted.
