Several loons? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divers

I believe this is a double definition.

'several' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'loons?' is the second definition.
('diver' can be a synonym of 'loon')

(Other definitions for divers that I've seen before include "Some water-birds; assorted" , "footballers going to the ground, needlessly" , "Sundry - underwater explorers" , "people taking the plunge" , "ducklike birds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
