Diamond "stones" can be found in different grits like anything else. They're identified by the color, and red should be a fine grit. My DMT red stone is 500 grit, but it may vary.

They definately have to be used with water for lubrication, and new stones will cut faster than they should for a little while until they break in.

That said I have the Spyderco ceramic sharpener too. Different tools for different jobs I guess. Ceramic is best for touching up an edge btw. If your edge is completely gone, a good set of stones of any type will best to get it back.
