Hello everyone.

From this morning�s newspaper article:
All evening, men and women had been taking turns stripping to their bathing suits and plunging in[to the river] over their heads.

Does the phrase �plunge in over their heads� mean �plunge in head first�? If it does, I can�t get the picture.

Best regards,
fw

I think it just means that the water was deep enough so that when they got in it was over their heads
