dive
Plummet headfirst down
The noun and verb dive suggests downward movement, often rapid, and perhaps with water waiting at the bottom.
To dive into a pool is to jump in, head first.
If prices or ratings dive, they decrease rapidly.
A dive is an instance of either of these but also a more complicated scenario where people and equipment spend some time underwater (scuba dive, cave dive, wreck dive).
In slang use, a dive is a cheap and dirty club or bar.
