'Tauchgang' (dive) is made up of 'Tauch-' (diving) and 'Gang' (outing). It therefore refers to a single outing in which someone dives underwater and stays there.

The experienced diver planned a dive for the next morning.
'Tauchgang' (dive) is often used with verbs such as 'machen' (to do), 'unternehmen' (to undertake), 'planen' (to plan), and 'beginnen' (to begin). The phrase 'ein anspruchsvoller Tauchgang' (a challenging dive) is also common in diving contexts.

The phrases 'während des Tauchgangs' (during the dive) and 'bei einem Tauchgang' (on a dive) are often used to describe when or in what circumstances something happens. Here, 'während' takes the genitive case, while 'bei' takes the dative.
