One taking dive breaks GNP rule (7)
I believe the answer is:
plunger
'one taking dive' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'breaks gnp rule' is the wordplay.
'breaks' indicates an anagram.
'gnp'+'rule'='gnprule'
'gnprule' is an anagram of 'PLUNGER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plunger that I've seen before include "Sink unblocker" , "Device for clearing blocked drains" , "Rubber pipe unblocker" , "Drain unblocker" , "diver" .)
