Can you explain clavado?

Question

I saw the verb to dive translated as dar en clavado. Is this correct? When I see clavado I think of the word "nailed"

Answer 1

I guess it has to do with something being driven into something else, in this case a body being driven into the water, like a nail into wood.

Answer 2

Clavar –

1.)to drive (cuchillo), 2.)to thrust, 3.)to stick, 4.)to nail, 5.)to fix.

As a “Past Partciple” to the above, it could mean;

Clavado -

1.) drove, 2.) thrusted, 3.) stuck, 4.) nailed, 5.) fixed
