Recalled broadcasts about work in dives (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swoops

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

'dives' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'recalled broadcasts about work' is the wordplay.
'recalled' is a reversal indicator.
'broadcasts' becomes 'sows' (sowing is a kind of broadcasting**).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'sows' in reverse letter order is 'swos'.
'swos' placed around 'op' is 'SWOOPS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swoops that I've seen before include "Descends swiftly through the air" , "Busts" .)
