Dive On Shipwreck

http://news.yahoo.com/man-face-alabama-trial-wifes-diving-death-062708433.html

"Watson is accused of killing Tina Watson by turning off her air supply and bear-hugging her as she drowned while diving on a shipwreck in 2003. "

Does it mean "dive towards a shipwreck and collide with it"?

Hi,

No. Divers use 'dive on something' when talking of their underwater activities.

So,

"diving on hidden treasures"

works better?

Hi,

Yes.

Or you could just say it in a less jargon-y way,
eg Diving to find hidden treasures.
