Pk, so this is going to sound like me being "PMT" again, as Helen often accuses me, but if you search for "dare to be DiFF" on Google the only spot on reference is YD> This looks like someone from YD has done it and that surely is not a good advert for YD as an entity or us as divers.

So, given that it is bad enough that it ihas happened, and completely and utterly out of line if it was a YD member who did it (which, of course we don't know), posting a photo of the vandalism like a brag just won't help things.

After all DiFF, as I understand it, is allegedly about having fun - not being hoolies...

Agree with you lou.

Vandalism in any shape or form is not big and not clever.

DiFF is about having fun and not being a mindless moron.

Ahh, OK. It is very clever, but much better now that it is clear that it is faked.

I think you will find it a well bandied phrase, and Google, good though it is may not fully reflect all of humanity.

My own assesment of the 197 Google returns for "dare to be diff" is hardly exclusively YD orientated.

YMMV but I feel it is far more likely to be a well used street phrase that some 'yoof' has decorated a bridge with.

The reflection by the OP that it is humorous, I am afraid I agree with, distasteful though the act of vandalism may be.
(edit)
People post so quick, I hardly have time to put my foot in my mout before it's time to change feet.

I concur - DiFF is about promoting respect for stuff and people (all be it in a subversive kind of way) graffiting stuff is not cool - but I'd love to know what website you got that from I can see endless hours of fun with it at work.....
