<diver>

        <owner>
        <buddy>
            

Within <diver> only the two elements <owner> (to be the first, allowed to appear only once (1)), and <buddy>, do exist — the last one can appear any times in the file. The following listing of elements is used within both elements. The only exception is the element <student> which may appear only inside <buddy> — denoting that this <buddy> is a student (if the <owner> of the UDDF file is a dive instructor).
