I believe the word only takes masculine form. You would need to specify female some other way.
Are you trying to say something simple like "she is a diver?" "Ella es un buzo." Unless I'm just totally wrong about this : P

"conocí a un buzo que era mujer" maybe. there's no doubt you would be understood, I'm just not sure if that's the best way to say it - unMica, Aug 27, 2011

Look at this couple ofexamples I found by Googling -
Estuvimos 9 buceadores en esta estupenda zona, frente a Sopelana. ..... 13 buzos y buzas hemos buceado en la zona del cementerio.
- ...además de ser mi amiga y colega de profesión, es maestra, buza y una enamorada del mar.
Evidently at least some Spanish speakers think it's okay to say 'la buza'!
You can also use the word submarinista to mean diver, although I don't think it's as common.
