A Temporary Dive is the second studio album by the Norwegian singer-songwriter Ane Brun, initially released in Norway and Sweden on 7 February 2005.

6" features the Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith and also appears on her Duets album.

It was recorded at an after-show party following their performances at the Storsjöyran festival in Östersund, Sweden.

[5] The track "Balloon Ranger" was said by Ane to be analogous to her troubles learning the English language, or rather how she sometimes comes up with nonsense words that have no inherent meaning.

The original album was re-released on CD for the European market in spring 2010, featuring new artwork (the same as that used for the 2006 US release) and a bonus track, "Half Open Door".
