I get the intention but to me badass has this connotation of ego ascribed to it, which I rarely link to diving. Like a guy walking into a bar and trying to look badass or people whispering "don't mess with that guy, he's badass". That would make me laugh to associate with a diver. I do see people doing awesome dives, or who are amazing divers, and I appreciate highly skilled, talented or very committed.
This guy however, seems to me to be badassish, even in his tighty whiteys. He is probably going down to pry out a live torpedo from a ships hull or dislodge an armed limpet mine.
