Dive is the third studio album by English soprano Sarah Brightman. It is her first album with producer Frank Peterson, and a marked departure from her previous operatic works. Its unifying theme is water and the ocean. Four of the songs are covers: "Captain Nemo" was originally recorded in 1990 by Dive; "A Salty Dog" in 1969 by Procol Harum; and "Johnny Wanna Live" in 1992 by Sandra. Likewise, "Once in a Lifetime" is a cover of the Gregorian song from 1991's Sadisfaction , also produced by Frank Peterson, though with different lyrics alluding to BDSM.
