It's incorporating a number of different elements for a diver all at sea (6)

I believe the answer is:

varied

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's incorporating a number of different elements' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a diver all at sea' is the wordplay.
'all at sea' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'diver'='adiver'
'adiver' is an anagram of 'VARIED'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for varied that I've seen before include "Assorted, diverse" , "Miscellaneous" , "Widely different" , "Differing" , "Motley" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
