Some questions

0 Question:::: 02br
00I’ve got some questions and hope anyone could answer them: 02br
02br
00Is it correct to say: 02br
00I have been diving and have been looking for smth 02br
00The problem is with the use of the second HAVE—is it appropriate? 02br
02br
00Then, not so long ago I got to know a phrase 02br
00‘some kind of…’ eg ‘some kind of a miracle’ 02br
00In what situations is it used? 02br
02br
00Thanks beforehand to everyone for help, 02br

0 Hello, Jessica, 02br 02br 001. No, you don't need the "have"; you don't need the "been" either: both are implied. 02br 00"I've been diving and looking for sth" 02br 00I'd like to know the context of that sentence, though...
