The Buck Intrepid would not make a good dive knife for several reasons. A lot of people have had corrosion problems with the steel used by Buck in this particular knife. 420 HC is not exactly a high quality steel. When used in small pocket knives, 420 HC is about the bare minimum. When used on a larger knife like the Intrepid, you will probably encounter difficulty when re-sharpening. I also don't see why the vast majority of divers would need a knife that large and cumbersome. The Intrepid is about $140.00, the real Carson custom made version is probably in the $500.00 range. Either is way too much for a dive knife that won't be of much use and will most likely be lost.
