being recorded for taking a dive (5,4)

[Mamyalynne]

Taken down

[fortis70]

i have ?o?n? d?w? olive is the down clue which gives the O and attain the down clue that gives the N, i can only think of count down or found down, the clue is actually being REMEMBERED for taking a dive

[Mamyalynne]

Count down

[dannyk13]

Going down?

[Mamyalynne]

Could well be, I thought being 'remembered' something may 'count'.

[Mamyalynne]

Yours makes more sense.

[fortis70]

yes it could be but i can't see how that relates to being remembered? is it just me or is it a poor clue the quick clue is BEING RECORDED i can't see how it parses, i think taken down is a good answer but i am certain that olive (fruit) is correct and attain (reach) also correct
