Aug 31, 2017 at 11:04 comment added NMI Deep dive was a completely new expression to me before I read this answer and yet just today Adobe Systems emailed me with the subject: Get a deep-dive into creative skills. So what's with that hyphen? I would hyphenate it only as a compound adjective, for example: It's not looking good. I think we've got another deep-dive situation in the making.
Aug 31, 2017 at 6:47 comment added NMI What an apt metaphor! It does indeed take on a certain scheduled ominousness in the noun sense. I have worked in organisations where taking a deep dive (not that I would have thought to call it that) was dangerous, because you never knew what you might encounter in the dark and murky depths and if you would return to the surface unscathed.
