Dove and dove, dove into the water

I was in the process of constructing a post about the whales off City Beach and used - dove down under the surface.
Then I thought - It looks too much like Dove, the bird.
Changed the sentence to - as it dived.
Do you use the word dove, as in go under the surface?

I use “dived” - I think that’s the standard in UK - but I have occasionally seen “dove” used as the past tense of “dive”. I think either can be used.
