Diving knives are made from highly stain resistant alloys, e.g. H1, X15TN, titanium alloys, etc. Regular knives can use either stain resistant or plain carbon steel.
Special stainless(stain resistant) steels used in dive knives resist corrosion very well, but the downside is reduced edge holding ability compared to carbon steel or conventional stainless steels.
Also, diving knives very often have rounded or no sharp tip to avoid accidental piercing of the suit or other underwater equipment.

What is the difference between regular diving and synchronized diving?
The difference between "regular" diving and synchronized diving is the scoring and the athletes. In "regular" diving one diver goes at a time and that one diver is scored based on that one dive.

The two athletes are then given ONE score for both dives based on their precision and timing.

Sharp tipped knives tent to snap off and break when prying at things. The blunted tip is more practical as you never need to stab anything but you often need to pry things underwater. A sharp knife is what you need for cutting line and old netting etc.

But a simularity is that both strokes have the same turn
