If you're willing to put down enough money for titanium you should go ahead and try something made of H-1 steel. It will hold an edge much better than titanium, and because it uses nitrogen instead of carbon it is chemically impossible for it to rust. I have a Spyderco Caspian Salt on the way and I am ridiculously excited!
I have one of the Spyderco "Saver Salt" knives, and i love it. the H1 is awesome stuff, no rust, ever. if im feeling in a particularly "awesome" mood, i'll put it in my boot (clipped onto the boot, knife on the inside, under my wetsuit) but i usually don't dive with it, because its a folding knife. any of spyderco's stuff made with H1 in a fixed blade would make an AWESOME dive knife
I just picked up my Caspian Salt from the post office. It's great! It's razor sharp out of the box (you can expect that from spyderco) and the sheath is very secure. I'll have to post a review after I go diving with it. Highly recommended!

I second this ... sweet knife ... I've had one for about 4 months. It's beautiful. Don't lose it though, fairly pricey. The downside is that I'm not sure how well it would fair with bulky mitts on [i.e. it may be difficult to handle] in cold water. The sheath is somewhat difficult to mount [DIR style] on a waist belt, but can be done with a bit of ingenuity.
