Diving idioms

If you dive in to something you start it immediately with no sense of caution. This can also be said as dive in with both feet.

If a place is a dive, it is very messy, dirty, and in disrepair. A person might say “That restaurant is a dive” or “His apartment is a dive” about places they do not want to go to.

When you duck and dive you avoid problems and things in your way by using your intelligence and being resourceful.
