The musical theatre and operatic influence seen in most of Brightman's work is absent here. A heavy emphasis on SynthPop and inspiration from Peterson's group Enigma gives the album its own unique sound. It's worth noting that this album and Pop Rock follow-up ''Fly'' are the only ones in her discography that Brightman herself has co-produced. ''Dive'' gave Brightman her first Gold award for exceptional sales in Canada, where it sold 50,000 copies (as of August 13, 1999).

!!''From space, the planet is the territory. Not of humans, but of the tropes'':

* HotterAndSexier: "Once In A Lifetime" was rewritten from its original version by Frank Peterson's old project Gregorian. This was the effect.
* LyricalDissonance:
* MoodWhiplash: "Once in a Lifetime" starts off as an upbeat, romantic song about finding what seems to be true love. Then toward the end the music slows and it suddenly becomes apparent that this was an abusive relationship from which the singer has finally freed herself.
* SpokenWordInMusic: The track "Cape Horn" features an excerpt from the 1962 film ''Mutiny on the Bounty''.
