You are right about the heat. It is the biggest engineering challenge to manned exploration of venus. I suspect that dives to the surface would be time limited. The vessel would need to rise to much cooler altitudes to dump heat. When whatever substance we will use as a temperature modulator cools it would condense. During the dive this heatsink substance would gradually heat up and expand into a gas.

Up and down. Rising high enough and trying to maintain your position on the nightside would be key goals. The pressures are negligible. We can already craft pressure vessels capable of withstanding surface pressure on venus. The heat though... You need insulation and some kind of crazy heatsink substance. It's just so possible.
