I'd say "yes", if it were under the surface by a significant amount. This one, being only 23 meters down, doesn't have a lot of water on top of it to displace if it were to collapse. Not saying there wouldn't be some major chop going on. I'm just guessing there wouldn't be a huge, widespread tsunami is all.

Of course, I reserve the right to be completely wrong on this. . .
