I only found "dive into" in the dictionary but it seems ppl use "dive to" a lot on the Internet. Which one is right?

Help me!!! Plz.

Dive to Death
Gold prices dive to six-week lows amid equity fears.
And books or songs with "Dive to ..." title .

vWell, I just want to ask if i can use "dive to ..." for an official slogan ?

That would be dive down(wards) to. The word down(wards) is omited. It's called ellipsis.

Is that really ellipsis?
Thank you a lot.
