Aye, it just came to me when I was reading my book at lunch time, and I thought you'd get a kick out of it: "They ..., blew their horns and sounded". I thought that was a tautology at first till I realised that "dived" was what was meant.

ALso, to sound can mean to dive as well as determine the depth with a dunking device (How Mark Twain got his name)

Ask a sapper. There may be a military expression for it but I'd say "undermine and mine"
