<address> — new parent element <vessel>

<alarm> — additional error message link

<audio>, <image>, <video> — new parent element <mediadata> (the previous parent element <notes> is abolished — inside <notes> from now on only cross-references via <link/> on previously in the <mediadata> section declared <audio>, <image>, and <video> elements is possible)

<contact> — new parent element <vessel>

<datetime> (former <date>) — additional parent element <dateofflight>, <dateofrecompressiontreatment>, <rating>

<dive> — now contains only the following five child elements:

This serves for a better clarity, for many new elements have been added with version 3.0.0.

<divebase> — new parent element <divesite>, old parent element <trip> removed

<diveduration> — now compulsory

<divesite> — new child element <divebase>

<dominance> — now only keywords are allowed to describe the dominance, no character values

<examination> — new child elements <totallungcapacity>, and <vitalcapacity>

<gasdefinitions> — child element <tankdata> moved to <dive>

<generator> — new child elements <link/> (for cross-referencing a <divecomputer>), and <type>

<globallightintensity> — now only keywords are allowed to describe the lightintensity, no integer values

<greatestdepth> — now compulsory

<guide> — no child element <buddyref/> anymore; but <link/> (for cross-referencing a <buddy>, indicating he/she as guide

<lead> — additional child element <leadquantity>

<lightintensity> — now only keywords are allowed to describe the lightintensity, no integer values

<medical> — additional child elements <prescribedmedicine>

<mix> — additional child element <notes>

<notes> — additional parent elements <hyperbaricfacilitytreatment>, <mix>

<relateddives> — additional parent elements <hyperbaricfacilitytreatment>

<sex> — only the keywords undetermined, female, male, and hermaphrodite are allowed to determine the sex (no abbreviations)

<site> — additional child elements <environment> and <rating> (previously child element of <sitedata>)

<sitedata> — additional child element <hyperbaricfacility>, element <rating> removed (now see <site>)

<suit> — additional child element <suittype>

<tank> — additional child element <tankvolume>

<tankdata> — element moved from <gasdefinitions> to <dive>

<tankvolume> — additional parent element <tank>

<trip> — all child elements up to now moved to (new) <trippart> which now is the only child element (to be repeated as often as needed)

<vessel> — new child elements <address>, <contact>, <rating>

<waypoint> — additional child elements <batterychargecondition>, <decostop/>, <heading>, <remainingbottomtime>, <remainingo2time>, <tankpressure>

<surfaceinterval> → <surfaceintervalbeforedive>
