 I get that. But isn't dive actually a negative term?

 Thank you, we appreciate the compliment! 
 I understand your point. I'm trying to ask you a question, I'm not arguing philosophy. Why is dive a good thing?  
 Because they’re real. 
 What the fuck. 

Perhaps you simply don't know why you like.
