Yes, ospreys do dive into the ocean to catch their prey. They are specialized fish-eating birds that typically hunt by hovering over the water and then diving feet-first to snatch fish with their sharp talons. This hunting technique is highly effective, allowing them to capture fish from both freshwater and saltwater environments.
