2 dip: This is correct. "To dip (a biscuit into tea)" is to "submerge" a biscuit briefly or rapidly into tea, or to "immerse" it in liquid. The verb can also describe a slight or temporary move downwards, for example: Stock market prices often dip on Fridays.

Note that "dive" has two past forms: "dived" and "dove"; the past participle is always "dived".
