I think that the past tense of dive should be dove. The context I refer to is when someone dives to teh ground. Rather than saying "Look at him, the guy just dived" I think it's best to say "Look at him, the guy just dove"

Here are my reasons why:

The past tense for drive is drove. If we were to use the method above it would be drived!
The past tense for ride is rode . If we were to use the method above it would be rided.

So clearly, these two examples highlight that it should be changed. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
