Do I need a single diamond worth 300gp to cast Revivify, or can I use multiple?
As long as the total value equals 300gp, you can use as many diamonds as you want to cast Revivify. But they must be diamonds (no rubys, emeralds, etc.).
The DM can decide what to do to the diamonds if the total value equals more than 300 gp (i.e. one 150gp diamond, and a 200 gp diamond).
Other Planes and Effects
Below is information about this spell as it relates to other planes and area of effects (i.e. underwater).

Underwater - Verbal Component
Official rules have been verified by Jeremy Crawford - "No rule prohibits verbal components from working underwater. Keep in mind that if you're talking, you're not holding your breath." Hence, while submerged underwater and holding its breath, a creature can cast a spell that requires a verbal component. After casting the spell, if the creature can't breathe underwater, it immediately runs out of breath. The creature can survive for a number of rounds equal to its Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 round).
