No there are no regulations for climb or descent rates for VFR
flight.

Well, neither one has much to do with a vertical speed limit.


A dive which goes over Vne?


Well, yes, flight testing for instance. VNE is 10% below a tested dive
speed. Alos, as I posted before, some airplanes had an emergency dive
speed. Vd. I'd have to look it up to see, though. In any case, it's not a
legal limit, it;'s a design limitation.
