"Play 25 random levels with other online players but don't leave immediately". What's this mean? And is it accumulate or One Session only?

I think it means don't join and then leave, actually play the level you dived into. I've done it once, and it counted the one level, after that I got disconnected from the group I was with due to the loading screen glitch around at the time (I don't know if it's still around, I don't play with people a lot). So I think you don't need to do all 25 at once, you just need to do 25 levels through the dive in feature without leaving as soon as you join.

Oh jeez. I might suffer with those deep lags and blinking loading screens that made me dizzy, or worse, seizures.

Yeah, it's a real bother and I can't imagine anyone doing it except for the trophy. Dive In is like the worst combination of bad load times, bad players and bad levels, because it typically throws you into horrendous high-activity spam levels from the Cool Pages, and most often links you to someone who really doesn't want to be social but has their settings to "accept all requests". By the time you're done loading your way through a half-dozen failed Dive Ins and join some self-righteous power tripping 11-year-old, he'll quit right away and it won't register as a Dive In. Or he'll kick you, so it won't register. Or you'll load into his Pod rather than an in-progress level, which isn't a Dive In. And if you play more than one level with the same people, it doesn't count. You have to break away and do it all over again with a new stranger (or strangers). A single DIve In took me about 15 minutes to properly pull off, which isn't long really, but feels like an eternity because it's so joyless. I haven't gone near it since the very beginning. There are plenty of tweakable options to help reduce jerk players, but it also massively reduces the pool of players you can connect with period. Might go torture myself now just to be sure I'm correct to be this bitter, heh heh. Maybe I just caught it on a bad weekend.

I combined this trophy effort with the win 25 community versus levels trophy. If you go to cool levels and use a filter to select "versus," and then use dive in, you'll have a pretty good chance of not only joining another player, but that player won't kick you right away since they need someone else to really play the level with. Then, if you win, it counts toward your win 25 trophy as well I remember the first 5 or 6 dive-ins were extremely painful... once I started doing this 'trick' I had the trophy in about an hour or two.

I'd never have thought of that one. That's actually a very good idea! Even better, if we don't like the other person, we can beat them in the Versus match we joined!
