I believe both recon groups go through more or less the same type of training, but that their scope of missions is slightly different (Division recons within arty fire range while Force goes beyond any fire support range). I also believe that all Force Recon Marines are combat-diver qualified (someone correct me if I am wrong).
You are correct about the diving. I was reading about these guys last night and they are uber-qualified for deep recons and black ops. It made me realize why Hollywood almost always makes their hero have a connection to this group.
One funny thing I read was that if they go "green" (deep inside enemy territory) they are not supposed to engage or the mission is a failure. I just don't see Leatherneck or Gung-Ho being able to keep that objective. Things will go "boom" when they show up.
