It's depressingly come to my attention that a particular name, or title, describing a group of loyal and dedicated divers has been not only taken negatively but has been shared as mis-represented. Unlike common names or phrases of botes carrying single diver projects, such as "no pressure" doesn't get dissected as incorrect terminology. Hardcore Dive Team is again on the chopping block. I, just found this on the HardCoreDiveTeam | Explorers beyond the surface website!! It's a big relief now to know, what it's about.

[h=2]About Hardcore Dive Team[/h]HCDT (Southern California, Western Canada, Texas, Taiwan, and Maryland) (that in bold, italics and underlined is newly edited right here!) is put together to experience the best diving benefits possible for Hardcore Divers. There are no rules, by-laws, constitutions, or club operating procedures to bog down the interest to go diving and have fun. It’s important, but not a rule, that regular diving in “Natural Bodies of Water” be practiced often.
[h=2]hard-core[/h] [hahrd-kawr, -kohr] Show IPA

adjective1.unswervingly committed; uncompromising; dedicated: a hard-core scuba diver.

2.pruriently explicit; graphically depicted: hard-core pornography, especially sheepscrabs Compare soft-core.

3.being so without apparent change or remedy; chronic: hard-core unemployment=more dive time.

The link for soft-core has been added here, scroll down to "slang definitions and phrases for soft-core--and here's what that is:
Slang definitions & phrases for soft-core

(Also added here on SB is the definition of "Remedy" --

verb (used with object), remedied, remedying.5.to cure, relieve, or heal.

6.to restore to the natural or proper condition; put right:to remedy a matter.

And that's about all that I can figure out to help with those that need it. It's been tough being accused of "going outside of the box, even a little."









 
Isn't this the same guy who loves to go lobstering?
 
What school did you or not go to? It seems in higher falutent dive crowds, kind of similar to the ones I've had contact with here on SB, has this overview, of this particular team title as, what would you call it, arrogant team members. It couldn't be further from the truth. Being gullible, is why the post was posted. I really could care less myself, but thought the best thing to do would be to spell it out from what I learned about them, us. Wookie? Me, the guy that loves to go lobstering? Lol! I really don't love to go lobstering, I wish they went peopling. I gotta check my card, I think I have 1 or 3 this year. I love the opener. Turisops, relax, security is in place. 1bubbleoff, are you referring to the illicit and controled substance, mushrooms? I wouldn't be braggin or trying sell that crapolla on line especially on SB. Didn't you read the open water manual? No diving while under the influence. Thanks Jim.
 
I think the appropriate description for the previous rambling rant is "dafuq". i.e. What dafuq did I just read?


Furthermore, O.P. has adequately defined common words used in the aforementioned post. To that end I will continue his exciting trend.
