The <surfaceintervalafterdive> statement puts into brackets subsequent elements concerning the description of what happened during the surface interval after the dive (for example travelling to the new dive spot over a mountain pass, and/or through a valley with altitude and time information).
Important occurences after the dive are given inside <surfaceintervalafterdive> (for example a hyperbaric chamber treatment and the transport to this facility).
